Objectives:
Presentation and discussion of the displacement method, matrix formulation for the analysis of frame structures, planar and three-dimensional, under linear regimen and their development from the practical application point of view, namely taking into account the automatic calculation. Presentation of the general aspects of the finite element method. Structural dynamic analysis applied to simple structural systems. Introduction to geometric nonlinear analysis and plastic analysis.
Skills and learning outcomes:
Identify different types of structural solutions to characterize the distribution and displacements and internal forces, due to static and dynamic actions in frame structures with linear and nonlinear behaviour, and interpret the results obtained from the methods of structural analysis.
Identify different types of structural solutions to characterize the distribution and displacements and internal forces, due to static and dynamic actions in frame structures with linear and nonlinear behaviour, and interpret the results obtained from the methods of structural analysis.
Presentation and discussion of all the contents in theoretical classes along with simple illustrative problems.
In theoretical-practical classes is proposed and discussed a set of applications associated to theoretical issues.
Complementary individual exercises will be proposed and evaluated
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The teaching methodologies permit to use methods of structural analysis to calculate the displacements and internal forces of structures in linear and nonlinear regimen and considering the dynamic behaviour, discuss and criticize the results of the calculation of structures in order to validate the calculation process, propose, for the methods of the forces and displacements, efficient base systems and according to the obtained results structural variants with improved behaviour.

Achieving final classification requires compliance with attendance at the course unit, according to the MIEC assessment rules. It is considered that students meet the attendance requirements if, having been regularly enrolled, the number of absences of 25% for each of the classes’ types is not exceeded.
“Achieving final classification requires compliance with attendance at the course unit. It is considered that students meet the attendance requirements if, having been regularly enrolled, the number of absences of 25% for each of the classes’ types is not exceeded. The following cases are exempted from the attendance requirements: i) cases prescribed by law, including student workers; ii) students who were admitted to exams in the previous academic year.”
