COMPUTER METHODS FOR CALCULATING BUILDING STRUCTURES LECTURE NOTES (for second (master’s) level of higher education, full-time and part-time study in specialty 192 – Building Industry and Civil Engineering, educational program “Industrial and Civil Engineering”)

Abstract

Based on the results of studying the discipline, students must be able to idealize and model building structures, assign boundary conditions and loads, perform linear and nonlinear analyses, examine dynamic behaviour, and apply modern software packages (LIRA-FEM, LIRA-10, RFEM 6, SCAD, ANSYS, Abaqus, etc.) for the design of building elements. The training is intended to develop in the future engineering the ability to critically analyse calculation results and make decisions regarding the optimization of structural solutions.
