Aim:
The course intends to give basic knowledge of timber and steel structures.
- The student should be able to describe properties and applications for the most common building construction materials
- Design of basic structures should be performed by using tables, formulas and handbooks. The calculations should be easy to follow and understand
- Calculations should be implemented in ultimate limit state and in serviceability limit state
- Technical terms, symbols and conventions should be used adequately
- Knowledge should be used integrated in analysis and solution to basic structures. Calculations should be estimated with reasonable approximations
- The student should have an overview of function, action and validity of composed structures made up of different building units
- The student should act in order to find creative and well working solutions to project assigments
- Project assigments should be presented adequately. Drawings should be implemented in CAD

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Structural Mechanics and Strength of Materials. Building Technology basic course. CAD Technology 2D.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
