Structural Systems

(2 Credits)

The course provides an in-depth coverage of structural analysis techniques. Topics in this course include: analysis of statically determinate beams, frames and trusses; influence lines for determinate beams and trusses; deflection calculations using geometrical and energy methods; analysis of statically indeterminate structures using superposition; slope deflection; moment distribution; and matrix analysis of structures. The course includes computer assignments using commercial structural analysis software.
