Structural Analysis (1)
Catalog Data
CE 332 Structural Analysis (1)
(3 – 0 : 3)
Classification of structures; loads; truss analysis, internal loadings in structures, shear
and moment diagrams for beams and frames; influence lines for determinate
structures; deflections; introduction to methods of analysis of statically indeterminate
structures.
Textbook
Structural Analysis (2nd Ed.), by Aslam Kassimali, PWS Publishing. ISBN 0-53495324-7.
Coordinator
Prof. Yahia Abdel- Jawad
Goals
Provide a thorough understanding and practical applications of structural analysis
theories. Develop the skills to analyze the behavior and response of structures to
various loads and constraints. Establish foundation knowledge and skills in preparation
for structural design, concrete and steel design.
