Structural Analysis (2) CIVL 3316

Course description:

This course teaches the student the statically indeterminate structures; degree of indeterminacy; analysis of statically indeterminate structures using the constant deformation; slope deflection; moment distribution and introduction to matrix analysis.

Course Aims:

  • This Course aims at providing the students the concept of analyzing indeterminate structure (defections and internal forces) using classical and up to date methods. In Addition ,discuss the approximate methods of analyses.

Course outcomes:

Intended Learning Outcomes:
  • Analyzing the statically indeterminate beams, trusses and frames using the force method. 
  • Analyzing the statically indeterminate beams and frames using displacement methods: slope-deflection method and moment distribution method. 
  • Analyzing of beams, trusses and frames using the stiffness method. 
  • Understanding the concept of the finite element method. 
  • Analyzing of real structure problems.                                                                                                                                                            Analyze structures under moving loads using influence lines.
  • This Course is a pre-requisite of many courses specially: Advance Structural Analysis.
