DESCRIPTION: Analysis of forces and deflections in determinate and indeterminate structures; influence lines for beams and trusses; dead, live, snow, and wind loads on structures; and introduction to computer programs for structural analysis.
TEXT: Fundamentals of Structural Analysis, West, Harry H. & Geschwindner, L.F., John Wiley, 2nd Edition, 2002.
REFERENCE: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, SEI/ASCE 7-02
OBJECTIVE: To acquaint the student with the classical methods of solving determinate and indeterminate structures. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to analyze determinate and indeterminate beams, frames, and trusses. Students will be introduced to computer modeling and computer analysis of beams, frames and trusses.
OUTCOMES: 1. Be able to determine the reactions of determinate structures.
2. Be able to solve for the internal member forces in determinate trusses.
3. Be able to draw shear and moment diagrams for beams and frames.
4. Be able to develop computer models of beams, frames, and trusses.
5. Be able to determine beam deflections using the conjugate beam method.
6. Be able to determine beam, frame, and truss deflections using the virtual work method.
7. Be able to draw influence lines for beams and trusses.
8. Be able to determine structural loads on structures due to dead , live, and snow loads
using ASCE 7.
9. Be able to solve indeterminate beams, frames, and trusses using the force method
through virtual work.
10. Be able to solve indeterminate beams and frames using the slope-deflection method.
11. Be able to solve indeterminate beams and frames using the moment distribution method.
ASSESSMENT: All learning outcomes will be assessed through questions in class and the evaluations of homework and examination problems.
