48349 Structural Analysis

6cp

Requisite(s): 48331 Mechanics of Solids AND 33230 Mathematical Modelling 2
Fields of practice: Civil Engineering program
Undergraduate

This subject covers methods and concepts fundamental to the analysis of structural frameworks. Students learn to analyse indeterminate structures using both direct force-based methods and iterative methods such as moment distribution. Students also learn how to establish and apply structural loads typical in building design and how to use influence lines to find maximum load effects. An introduction to nonlinear analysis of structures is also given to prepare students for understanding the limit-states design concepts, which they encounter in other structural design subjects.

Assessment: Typically this subject will be assessed through a combination of quizzes, assignments and examination.
