Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
This teaching unit provides an introduction to the analysis of load bearing structures. It forms part of the continuous process of learning about structures and their behaviour.
The course introduces fundamental concepts which enable students to
The course introduces fundamental concepts which enable students to
- formulate all the stages in the analysis of a structure : production of a static diagram, assessment of stress and internal loads.
- maintain a dialogue with an engineer specialised in this field.
- Extended, compressed and bent structures
- Tensile (cables) and compressed (arches) structures
- Isostatic and hyperstatic structures
- Lowering of loads
- Stability of form (slender elements) and stability of the whole (bracing).
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | Specific learning outcomes: By the end of the course, students are able to 1. undertake an overall analysis of a structure, i.e.:
3. identify the influence of hyperstaticity on the mechanical behaviour of a structure. 4. develop a logical procedure which
With regard to the learning outcomes reference framework of the Bachelor's degree in Architecture, this teaching unit contributes to the development, the acquisition and the assessment of the following learning outcomes: Make use of other subjects
