STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS I

Catalog description

Classification and calculation of design loads based on adopted design codes. Evaluation of the stability of structures and their classification as determinate or indeterminate. Analysis and calculation of reactions, internal forces and deflections of statically determinate and indeterminate beams, frames and trusses. Determination of deflections for statically determinate structures. The course includes the use of computer applications for the analysis of structures. Students will develop the critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, communication, innovation and design of infrastructure skills required to study and design of structures in civil engineering.
