Objectives and competences
At the end of this course the student understands the basic concepts of statics of building structures, which include: force, moment, rigid body model, equilibrium, static determination, kinematic stability, free body, external and inner forces, differential relations.
The student gets acquainted with cord structures, Influence lines, static and kinetic friction, concept of inertia tensor, static and inertia moments, radius of inertia and parallel axis theorem.
The student masters the necessary skills to calculate the reactions and internal forces of statically determined and kinematically stable building structures.
Understands and knows how to apply the studied methods and procedures in the analysis of statically determined structures.

Learning and teaching methods
Lectures in the lecture room, occasionally supported by computer projection of the material. Explaining the basic concepts, deriving the equations and calculation procedures on the blackboardboard. Seminars with demonstration of basic equations and procedures. Seminar work.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
- explain physical quantities describing heat, moisture, sound and light, and the relationships that link them
- explain the mechanisms/modes of heat, moisture, sound and light transfer and connect them into a structure
- explain the properties of sound and light sources, as well as human perception of sound and light
- qualitatively predict and quantitatively determine heat losses, the moisture, sound and light quantities in simple situations
- choose professionally suitable civil engineering solutions with regard to the heat transfer, the moisture quantity, as well as the quantity and quality of sound and light
- identify the reasons for excessive heat transfers, moisture, as well as inappropriate quantity and quality of sound and light and design mitigation measures
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
