Strength of Materials 1 is a compulsory engineering basic subject. The main goal of the subject is the analysis of the materials failure of frame structures and to determine the load-bearing capacity of the structural elements. We aim to explain the theoretical basis, to present examples close to the practice of architectural engineering, and to develop the appropriate skills in solving basic structural design tasks. In addition, we also extend the principles learned from statics to some special structures (e.g. arches, cables, 3D structures).
