Structural Engineering, Specialization Course

The student must choose two of the following subjects, each with 3.75 study points:
Precast concrete structures (Prof L. Vinje).
Bridge design (Prof. T. Kanstad).
Computational analysis of masonry structures (Prof. K.V. Høiseth).
Impact and energy absorption (Prof. M.Langseth).
Calculation methods for metallic structures (Prof. P.K. Larsen).
Composites and connections in timber structures (Prof. K.A. Malo).
Fatigue and fracture mechanics (Prof. P.J. Haagensen).
Reliability (Prof. A. Næss).
Object modelling (Prof. T.G. Syvertsen).
Product simulation (Prof. Ole I. Sivertsen).
ICT for integrated operations, I&IKT only, (Prof. O. I. Sivertsen).
Rheology and early age properties of concrete (Prof. S. Jacobsen).
Pore structure and life cycle design (Prof. Ø. Vennesland).
Production technology for building and construction (Prof. A. Bruland).
Building physics VK (Prof. J. V. Thue).
Building materials VK (Prof. P. J. Hovde).
Elastoplasticity (Prof. II Corneliu Athanasiu).

The course will give in-depth knowledge in a confined part of the field of structural mechanics.

The subjects are given as lectures, with possible exercises, seminars or self study. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. In case of continuation exams, these will be arranged before the end of the same exam period. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
