Structural Statics 1Prerequisite for taking the course is to submit and defend semestral assignments. Prerequisite for taking the exam is to get a positive grade.
The goal
Enable understanding of theoretical foundations and segments of Finite Element Method for the calculation of line and space structures. Develop creativity and ability to understand, formulate and solve engineering problems independently.
The outcome
Student is able and competent to analyze and solve problems of beams and plates utilizing The Finite Element Method.

Облици провјере знања и оцјењивање
It is compulsory to solve and defend 2 project assignments during the semester. The projects must be submitted and defended by the start of next semester. If the students do not pass colloquiums during the semester, they can take correctional colloquiums during the regular examination period.
