General system of forces in plane and space. Calculation of reactions of bodies and structures. Assessment of internal forces on statically determinate beams and simple girders. Principle of virtual work. Kinematic method for calculation of reactions of statically determinate systems. Determination of axial forces in truss constructions. Cross-sectional characteristics of planar shapes. Fiber polygons and chains.
Objectives:
The acquired knowledge can be used to solve problems of structural analysis in transportation engineering, e. g. various types of beams, truss systems, fiber polygons and chains.
