Structural Analysis

Catalog description

This course explores the principles and techniques used in the analysis of structures. Students will gain a solid understanding of determinate structures as well as the construction and interpretation of shear and bending moment diagrams. The course will also cover the analysis of simple and compound trusses. Key topics include the construction of influence lines for determinate beams and trusses, deflection analysis of determinate frames and trusses, and an introduction to indeterminate structures.
