    Competence objectives of the study unit
    In demanding and exceptionally demanding structural design:

    The student is able to apply
    - basic concepts and laws of kinematics and kinetics

    The student is able to take into account
    - that in stability theory, a structure can lose its load-bearing capacity as a global or local phenomenon the effect of the eigenfrequency on the regulations in the design standards

    The student is able to calculate and examine
    - manually the eigenfrequency of the single-span beam and to check the result with FEM software
    - with the general FEM software, the buckling coefficient of the Euler cases and determine the buckling length of the structure through it

    The student is able to identify
    - eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes related to eigenvibration
    - torsion and buckling as a phenomenon
    Prerequisites
    Bachelor of Civil Engineering or equal

    Name of lecturer(s)

    Towe Andersson

    Learning material

    - lecture notes
    - material in Moodle
    - Rakentajain kalenteri, Mechanics handbook, etc.

    Learning methods

    Lectures combined with exercises once a week.
    Mandatory homework that encourages you to calculate and provides a routine for solving mechanical problems.

    The content and program of the course, working methods and requirements are described in more detail in the weekly plan, which is available in the Moodle course.

    Objects, timing and methods of assessment

    The grade for the course is determined entirely by the four exercises. In order to pass, the exercises must be successfully completed. Homework must receive 40% of the points for the course to be considered completed.

    Exam dates and retake possibilities

    The grade of the course is based on the four homework assignments. 40% of the points must be obtained from the homework in order for the course to be considered completed. If necessary and when in advanced agreed on, the course homework can be renewed within a certain period of time when this has been agreed with the teacher.

    Timing and attendance

    Lectures held in the winter 2025. The course is carried out as online studies i.e., lectures tied to time but not to place.

    Student's schedule and workload

    Attendance at lectures is not mandatory.
    Students are expected to attend each lecture in order to be able to complete the course.
    The course has a steady load due to homework. Every homework and lecture requires preparation.

    Assessment criteria
    Failed (0)

    The student has not shown sufficient basic knowledge of the subject. That is, the student completes less than 40% of the total points in the homeworks.

    Assessment criteria – satisfactory (1-2)
