The module sets the focus on solving statically indeterminate beam structures using the slope-deflection method which is a special case of the displacement method and introduce the students to the geometrical nonlinear behavior of beam structures. This course forms the basis for advanced modules in the field of statics and dynamics.
The static software STAB2D can be used to check the hand calculation of stress resultants, displacements and rotations.
