The course develops students’ skills to perform analysis of structures, with emphasis on buildings and their structural elements. The course provides a revision of analysis of determinate structures (trusses, beams, frames etc…) with the focus on arches and cables. This involves calculations of deflections using energy methods. The course also introduces the stiffness method for the analysis of indeterminate structures.

i Ability to analyze determinate and indeterminate trusses, beams and frames with the focus on arches and cables and draw axial, shear and bending moment diagrams.
ii Ability to draw elastic curves and calculate slopes and deflections for determinate structures by using energy methods.
iii Ability to draw elastic curves and calculate slopes and deflections for determinate structures by using energy methods.
