Structural Analysis

Course Objective

To equip students with knowledge about two basic methods - force and displacement methods - for the analysis of statically indeterminate structures.

Course Outcomes

Students be able to:

1. Analyze statically indeterminate structures using force and displacement methods.
2. Calculate plastic moment for continuous beams and frames.
3. Evaluate the effect of loads on structures by means of shear force, bending moment and deflection.

Synopsis

The course covers topics related to computation of deflection of structures, force and displacement methods for the analysis of statically indeterminate structures (such as trusses, beams and frames) and plastic analysis.
