Abstract
This course offers the foundation to advanced consideration for structural analysis. This includes the solution of indeterminate systems via use of the Deformation Method and Matric Structural Analysis, as well as the solution of systems with nonlinear material behavior (e.g. due to plasticity).
Objective
Mastering the methods of analysis for statically indeterminate beam and frame structures Extending the understanding of the response of beam and frame structures by accounting for plasticity effects Ability to reasonably interpret and check the results of numerical analyses
Content
Linear analysis of beam and frame structures Force (flexibility) method Displacement (stiffness) method Matrix analysis Nonlinear analysis of beam and frame structures Elastic - plastic systems Limit (failure) analysis
