Learning Outcomes

OB1: Apply the principles of statics to analyse the equilibrium of bodies and structures subjected to different loading conditions.

OB2: Determine and evaluate forces, reactions, and internal actions in structural systems.

OB3: Calculate centroids and moments of inertia of simple and composite sections.

OB4: Analyse structural behaviour using appropriate engineering models and assumptions.

OB5: Apply reasoning and abstraction skills to solve statics and structural engineering problems.

OB6: Develop critical judgement in the analysis and interpretation of structural behaviour and engineering solutions.

OB7: Apply fundamental statics concepts to new and practical engineering problems.
