Leeruitkomsten

1. the student is capable of explaining the structural design from basic structures;
2. the student can make a simplified but realistic representation of constructions by properly schematizing the supports and loads;
3. the student is able to calculate and draw the external and internal equilibrium, the tensions and deformations from different constructions
4. the student can apply the current Eurocodes to check and test a basic construction on strength, stiffness and stability.
