Structural analysis course
Course details
This course is crafted for students specializing in civil/structural engineering and enthusiasts eager to gain a solid foundation in structural analysis. We delve into the core concepts and techniques fundamental to understanding structural behavior and analysis through comprehensive lectures.
Key topics covered in this course include:
- Analysis of statically determinate beams.
- Truss analysis using the methods of joints and sections.
- Stability and determinacy.
- Shear and moment equations and diagrams for beams.
- Reaction, shear, and moment influence lines.
- Beam deflection using classical techniques such as the double integration method, the conjugate beam method, and the moment area method.
- Beam, frame, and truss deflection using the virtual work method.
- Analysis of indeterminate structures using the force method, the slope-deflection method, and the moment distribution method.
