The students are familiar with the foundations of the FE-method and can explain the mechanism of different plate and shell elements. They can distinguish and classify types of nonlinearities and assess and deal with stability problems as e.g. lateral buckling of beams and buckling of slabs as well as soil-structure-interaction. Students are faced with a lot of modeling problems and know how to overcome it in practical cases.
