Obtaining knowledge necessary for the analysis on stress and strain of statically indeterminate line structures due to constant and moveable loads.

Enabling students to calculate and analyse all types of statically indeterminate line girders applied in construction. Acquired knowledge can be used in professional courses and in professional practice

Survey of basic equation for linear theory on rods. Classic and matrix formulation. Statically indeterminate girders. Force method: basic system, forming and solving conditional equations, solution control. Calculating displacements. Construction of influential lines for statically unknown forces and cross section forces. Influential lines for displacements. Elastic centroid. Approximate deformation method: basic unknowns, deformation indeterminate girders, forming conditional equations and solution control, influence of moveable loads. Hardy Cross procedure. Symmetric girders. Matrix analysis on line systems: basic notions and basic unknowns. Girders in plane: rod stiffness matrix, reaction vector, base stiffness matrix, transformation matrix, compatibility matrix, conditional equations, contour conditions, knot displacement determination, calculating force at rod ends. Orthogonal frames. Spatial girders. Continual girders. Software application for structural analysis.

Lectures, numerical – graphic practice, consultations. Practice are held in groups, and processed tasks fully follow the lecture content. Condition for taking the exam is positively evaluated individual tasks, as well as the required success at the partial examination or the defended seminar paper.
