AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The main purpose of this course is to introduce civil engineering students to classical and
matrix methods of structural analysis. The main idea is to determine the magnitudes of force
and displacement for each element of a design system for a given set of design loads. The
course intoduces several methods for analyzing statically indeterminate structures.
COURSE CONTENT
Basic concepts in structural analysis. Displacement methods in structural analysis.
Discretization of structures. The concept of degree of freedom.(degree of kinematic
indeterminacy). Slope deflection method. Derivation of slope deflection equations,
applications to continuous beams and frames. Moment distribution method. Development of
the method, applications to continuous beams and frames. Stiffness method. Development of
the method. Element stiffness matrices with respect to local coordinate system. Element
stiffness matrices with respect to global coordinate system. Structure stiffness matrix
assembly process. Applications to trusses, beams and frames.

ATTENDANCE AND DEADLINES
Attendance will be taken at random times, and these will be evaluated in awarding your
grades. Students are responsible for daily assignments. Homework will be due at the
beginning of the lecture on the due date, which will be shown on all homework assignments.
NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED !!! Missing assignments will be given a
grade of zero. Do not colloborate in solving assignments. You may see your submission
returned with no grade assigned to it. No make-up for quizzes. Information regarding the
course can be found at the web site http://staff.neu.edu.tr/~rresatoglu
COMMENTS
