Class Physics II

Exploration of the basic concepts of Physics and its application in the context of Civil Engineering.

Not applicable

1. Fundamental principles and basic concepts. Newton's Laws. Unit systems. Vector: operations and properties. Representation of force systems. 2. Force vectors and equivalent force systems. 3. Static of the material point. Rigid body static. 4. Analysis of plane structures. 5. Trusses. 6. Concepts of tension. 7. Stress-strain relation. 8. Axial loading.

The methodologies to support the teaching-learning process are centred on the students as well as on the development of their autonomy, whether in terms of acquisition or application of knowledge. Students are often encouraged to complete a set of practical exercises. Additionally, relevance is given to the laboratory component of the classes, as well as to the use of software.
