Learning Outcomes
Students will be competent in correctly using basic variables in statics, drawing free body diagrams for structures and forming equilibrium equations for simple bar structures such as trusses, beams and frames. Moreover, they will be able to define stress resultant diagrams for simple bar structures using equilibrium equations.
