Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Understanding the structural behavior of beam type elements with varying cross-section or curved shape, notches and holes
2. Understanding the structural behavior of reinforcements (e.g. screws, glues in rods)
3. Understanding of the structural behavior of plate elements (cross laminated timber, timber concrete composites)
4. Ability to design timber structures for multistory buildings, halls and bridges
