Topic 2: Structural loading based on NS-EN 1990:2002+NA2008. Dead loads and live loads according to NS-EN 1991-1-1, snow loads according to NS-EN 1991-1-3, wind loads according to NS-EN 1991-1-4, earth quake loads according to NS-EN 1998-1 and traffic loads on bridges according to NS-EN 1991-2.
 
Topic 3: Wood Design involving

- beams for moment, shear, axial load, torsional buckling, deflection and local effects.

- simple elements for compression (columns) and tension

Topic 4: Steel design involving

- beams for moment, shear, axial load, torsional buckling, deflection and local effects.

- simple elements for compression (columns) and tension

- cross-sectional classification
