Content
- Review of Structural Mechanics.
- Statically determinate and indeterminate structures: external / global / internal indeterminacy, calculation of degree of statical indeterminacy.
- Statically determinate structures: Computation of displacements with the unit dummy force method (virtual work), Mohr's integration tables.
- Statically indeterminate structures: Introduction to different solution methods, conditions of compatibility and equilibrium.
- Force (or flexibility) method: Primary system, general procedure, computation of internal forces.
- Analysis of different statically determinate structures: Beams, frames, trusses, curved elements, statically-indeterminate arches.
- Elastic supports, imposed displacements, thermal effects.
- Finite element method: Nodal approximation, shape functions and solution procedure for truss and 2-noded plane beam finite elements, application to analysis of frames and trusses.
- Influence lines (statically determinate and indeterminate structures).
- Plates and slabs with different boundary conditions.
- Introduction to dynamics of structures.
