Enabling student to analyze tension and deformation occurring in construction elements, Solving statically determinate and indeterminate problems. Dimensioning of construction elements.

Acquired knowledge enables students to recognize and analyze tension states and deformations for the elastic body based on which dimensioning of the elements can be done. The student is able to independently solve problems in the field of material resistance within higher courses as well as in the engineering practice.

Basic objectives of the material resistance; Section method; Euler and Cauchy Hypothesis, Matrix voltage; measure of deformation; Axially loaded rod: statically determinate and indeterminate; Torsion of the rods of circular cross-section: normal tension; the swaying deformation: elastic line; stability of rods, critical buckling force; hypotheses about the collapse; Modern materials in architecture: viscoelastic, pseudo elastic and materials with memory.

Lectures. Auditory Practice. Consultations. In the lecture theoretical part is presented and followed by typical examples. In the practice, additional problems are solved which extend the knowledge from the lectures. Consultations are held on the regular basis during the previously arranged times each week. The course is divided in two modules: the first module (axially loaded rod, torsion) and the second module (bending and twisting) are taken separately. If the modules are not taken, the eliminatory examination is to be taken.
