The curricular unit aims to develop knowledge and capacities in the domain of the analysis of laminar structures, namely, slabs, plates, membranes and shells, with identification and application of available tools, taking in to consideration the type of structural system. The capacity to define adequate boundary conditions and to establish coherent and efficient modelling techniques is an additional goal. Concerning the analysis of the structural behavior, are important goals the notions of paths of forces applied to laminate structures and, in terms of the structural project, the notions of design methods like the method of strut and tie models. In the domain of spatial structures it is a goal to give notions about the form-finding procedures and the understanding of the relations between forms and forces.
