Advanced Structural Analysis

Description

This course provides the students with advanced skills in structural analysis.

Learning Outcomes

Describe the general procedure for computer-aided structural modeling and analysis
Derive element stiffness matrix using the strong form formulation for frame-type elements
Analyze statically determinate and indeterminate structures subjected to loads, thermal effects, and support movement using direct stiffness method
Handle special constraints (e.g., from member rigidity assumptions) in structural analysis
Analyze structures using energy methods and derive element stiffness matrix using the weak form formulation
Analyze building frame structures using some approximate methods
Implement simple structural analysis programs
