Introduksjon

The course will introduce environmental loads on civil engineering structures and how they impact the structural design.

Content

Snow and ice loads. Seismic loads and structural response analysis. Wind loads and load effects. Linear wave theory. Wave forces.

Learning outcome

The course is to give students an introduction to environmental loads. Upon completing the course, the students shall:

  • be familiar with snow and ice loads effects on structures as well as the load design values
  • be familiar with effects of earthquake on structures, and be able to compute structural response to earthquake by using the design spectrum
  • be familiar with the mean and time-varying wind forces on structures, and be able to calculate the static and dynamic wind-induced response
  • be familiar with the linear wave theory and wave and current loads on structures

Mandatory work (assignments) must be approved by the lecturer within a given period ahead of examination date.

Method of work

On average, three hours lectures pr. week including one hour tutorial class each second week. Calculation exercises and one lab exercise. All information about the course will be made available on Canvas. The course will be taught in English.

Åpent for

Admission to Single Courses at Master Level at the Faculty of Science and Technology
Structural and Mechanical Engineering
Exchange programme at The Faculty of Science and Technology

Admission requirements

Must meet the admission requirements of one of the study programmes the course is open for.

Emneevaluering

The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
