Course Content
In the course, the supporting structure in a building is designed and dimensioned according to a model in the form of architectural drawings and descriptions. Loads are determined and different load cases are calculated. Construction elements are dimensioned and attachments for these are designed. Frame stabilisation is designed and dimensioned. Foundation and structural elements affected by earth loads are dimensioned. Developed construction is described and drawn in CAD. Assumptions, regulations and calculations and drawings are presented in a report.
