The background for the course is firstly that the computational capabilities for modelling advanced structural behavior has reached a very advanced level incorporating effects as non-linear material behavior, geometric imperfections (buckling), time-dependency and dynamics. Secondly, the standards have started to implement advanced Finite Element modelling for design of new structures and assessment of existing structures, and setting up procedures for ensuring the required level of safety. The course will enable the student to design more optimized structures.
The course will both give the necessary background for use of non-linear capabilities in modern FE-software, and enable the student both to analyze a specific problem and interpret the results especially with respect to satisfying the required safety level.
The examples used in the course will primarily cover concrete and steel structures, and focus will be on real life structures.
