Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course students shall be able to calculate the shear stresses in beams, draw NVM diagram for statically determinate frames and sloping beams, analyse simple statically undeterminate beams and calculate the critical load for columns with different boundary conditions. Students shall also be able to calculate characteristic loads and design loads in ultimate state for simple constructions.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INL2 - Thesis proposals, 0.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN2 - Written exam, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
- TENA - Written exam, 5.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
