CVN007 - ECTS The first chapter aims at defining the scope of the course and its importance within Civil Engineering. In the second chapter, the students learn to distinguish statically determined structures from others (hypostatic, hyperstatic and improperly constrained). With the syllabus taught at the third chapter the students acquire the ability to determine support reactions and internal forces in a structure. The connection of this ability with the concepts taught in the fourth chapter the students will be able to represent internal forces diagrams. With the syllabus taught at the fifth chapter the students acquire the ability to determine support reactions and internal forces using an energetic approach instead of equilibrium concepts. The energetic methods will be further used in following courses of the curricular plan. The ability to represent influence lines of support reactions and internal forces will be acquired with the syllabus taught in the sixth chapter.
