Course Contents

• Solid structures. Internal Forces. Beams – Frames.
• Concentrated and distributed loads. Method of sections. Diagrams of internal forces N, V, M
and their properties.
• Simply supported beam and diagrams of internal forces for various types of loading. Single and
double cantilever simply supported beam. Cantilever beam.
• Substitute beam. Construction of N, V, M beam diagrams with the beam substitute method and
the method of integrals.
• Hinged beam (Gerber). Reactions, N, V, M diagrams.
• Static solution of solid and hinged determinate frame structures.
• Principle of virtual work. Calculation of displacements – rotations of cross sections of solid
structures.
• Application of the direct stiffness method to calculate the displacements of trusses.

Educational Goals

Students’ understanding of the concept of external loads and their connection to the internal forces
developed in planar solid undeformed structures. The possibility of identifying and forming statically
determinate beams – frames. The ability to calculate and evaluate the axial – shear forces and
bending moments that develop in the members of the solid structures. The ability to determine
critical sections. The application of energy methods for the calculation of displacements – rotations of
cross-sections of solid structures.

General Skills

Acquisition of specialized knowledge for the conception, design and static solution of solid
determinate structures, calculation of internal forces and critical sections.

Teaching Methods

Face to face.

Use of ICT means

Powerpoint presentations, E-learning platform for
educational material.

Teaching Organization

Students Evaluation

1. Assignment of tasks in order to investigate the
understanding of the concepts taught.
2. Final written exam at the end of the semester (in Greek).
3. Each student is given the opportunity to check his
examination paper and have his mistakes analyzed.
