Structural Analysis I

Catalog description

Calculation of axial forces, shear forces, bending moments, and elastic deflections in statically determi - nate/indeterminate structures using classical and matrix methods. Top- ics include structural design methodologies, load path, basic tension/ compression member design, determinate/indeterminate analysis of trusses/beams/frames, influence lines, virtual work, force method, and an introduction to matrix structural analysis.
