Analysis of Statically Determinate Structures

This module intends to make learners: understanding different forms of structures, knowing to calculate the degree of static and kinematic indeterminacy of a given structure, knowing and applying the principle of superposition, explaining strain energy concept, Determining the displacements induced in determinate structures by applied load via the application of different methods like: direct integration method, moment area method, Castigliano's theorem and principle of virtual work. Learners will also know how to analyze determinate structures subjected to moving load via deep study of influence line.

Furthermore, this module will help student to develop basic analytical understanding in statically determined structures using the knowledge, understanding and analytical tools provided.
