Theory of Structures 3 (U00317)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 9 ? Acronym : EEL-3-CVTOS

This course introduces the analysis of two-dimensional indeterminate structures composed of line elements. The types of structure that are studied in detail are continuous beams, plane frames and trusses.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- calculate the elastic pattern of stress resultants in a 2D redundant beam or frame structure by hand;
- calculate the joint displacements of sway frames by hand;
- use a computer program to calculate the same elastic stress resultants;
- describe the computational process which the computer program would use;
- present the results in appropriate diagrams.
