The module teaches fundamental concepts and methods for analyzing and evaluating load-bearing structures, including the safe design and connection of structural elements.

The module addresses the analysis of surface structures, including the assessment and calculation of loads, deformations, and internal forces in such systems.

The module covers the principle of virtual forces and the method of force magnitudes for calculating support reactions and internal forces in statically indeterminate systems.

The module teaches the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method, including its theory, modeling, and the identification of potential sources of error.

The module covers condition assessment, model development, vibration analysis, and strengthening methods for existing structures using experimental and numerical approaches.

The module addresses resource optimization, innovative load-bearing systems, and modular, deconstructible constructions with case studies.
