This first course in structures introduces structural design concept and process, analysis of statically determinate structures, analysis of indeterminate structures by flexibility method and stiffness method

CILO-1: Represent real structures by idealized structural systems. [POs:a] CILO-2: Analyze various statically determinate structures including trusses, beams and frames. [POs: a] CILO-3: Describe the deformations of structures under loading and be able to apply various method to determine the deformations. [POs: a] CILO-4: Describe the concept of flexibility method and be able to apply it for analysis of statically indeterminate structures. [POs: a] CILO-5: Describe the concept of stiffness method and be able to apply stiffness methods for analysis of statically indeterminate structures. [POs: a] CILO-6: Apply structural analysis computer program for analysis of structures. [POs: l]
