Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

The course includes the classical methods for the analysis of statically indeterminate structures, i.e. the flexibility and stiffness methods. Apart from the comprehension of the analysis methods, the target of the course is the indication of the advantages and disadvantages of the statically indeterminate structures with respect to statically determinate ones, depending on the specific application. The course also includes the determination of influence lines of statically indeterminate structures. Αs a result the students become familiar with the stress flow in statically indeterminate structures.
