Course overview:

Extending the concepts of static equilibrium, deformation relationships and geometric compatibility, this course covers basic methods used to estimate internal forces, reactions and deflections in 2D structures.

Selected manual techniques are used to analyze statically indeterminate structures of various forms, including beams, trusses and frames. Fundamental principles of the computer‐based stiffness method of analysis are developed and applied to 2D trusses and frames. An emphasis is placed on the application of basic analytical techniques, supplemented by the use of computer‐based verifications.

Course objective:

The main goal of this semester to let the students to know how to analysis indeterminate structural analysis of different methods such as Approximate Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Structures, Deflections Using Energy Method (Method of Virtual Work), Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Structures by the Force Method and Displacement Method of Analysis: Slope – Deflection Equations.
