Course content

Structural analysis is defined in this course as the analysis of load-bearing coastal structures.

The course teaches students to design load-bearing structures in coastal areas and use measurement techniques and sensor technology to evaluate model accuracy. Students learn to determine appropriate forces, load combinations, and design principles. Additionally, they will assess the impact of climate change and rising sea levels on both existing and new structures.

Digital competence: Digital skills in the use of Revit, FEMdesign, Robot, programming in Python.

Sustainability competence: Assessment of damage level and damage consequences as well as measures for extending residual life of structures
