General description

Introduction to technical mechanics. Supports. Load types. Operations with forces. Equations of equilibrium. Support reactions of bars and systems of bars. Internal forces of bars.

General aim

The general aim of the course is to give base knowledge of one part of technical mechanics – statics, which deals with forces and equilibrium.

Aim

The student:
• knows what types of supports are used in building structures;
• is able to calculate support reactions for a structure in plane;
• is able to construct diagrams of internal forces for statically determined bars.

Form description

Studies consist of lectures and independent work.

Literature

Compulsory literature:
• the lecturers notes (in the Moodle environment).
Additional literature:
• Teoreetiline mehaanika (Rohusaar, J. 2011).
• Tugevusõpetus ehitajatele (Rohusaar, J. 2008).
• Tugevusõpetuse näidisülesanded (Rohusaar, J. 2008).
• Ehituskonstruktori käsiraamat (Masso, T. 2010 või 2002 või 1980).

Evaluation methods

The course ends with a written exam, which has to be passed with at least the grade satisfactory (2). There are no compulsory homeworks or tests. It is possible to gather bonus-points during the course that will be taken into account at the exam (the system for gathering those will be introduced during the first lectures of the semester).
