Objectives: The main objective of this course is to extend students understandingofstructuralanalysisforindeterminatestructures. Aftercompletingthecourse,thestudentswillbeableto: Recognizeifastructureisstaticallyunstable,determinateor indeterminate; Analyzesimpleindeterminatestructures(planetrussesand frames)byusingtheconsistentdeformationmethod; Describe the basic equations used in the slope‐deflection methodforanalysisofframestructures; Solveproblemswithsimpleindeterminateframestructures Page 1 of 3 byusingthemomentdistributionmethod; Perform approximate analyses of moderate‐size indeterminateframestructuresusinghand‐calculations; Computestiffnesscoefficientsforsimpleplaneframe/truss structuresbasedontheirphysicalinterpretation; Analyze indeterminate frame structures using the matrix methodforstructuralanalysis; Use typical structural analysis software and critically evaluatetheobtainedresults.
