Course description

In the structural design of buildings, It is necessary to determine the Internal action (stresses) of structures under various loads such as dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and seismic loads. The course covers the fundamentals of structural analysis: force and moment, equilibrium, drawing Internal Force Diagram, for simple structures, namely statically determinate structures such as cantilever beam, simple beams, simply-supported portal frame, and truss structures.

Purpose of class

The objective of this course is to understand internal actions (forces and moments) in structures under external loads in two areas: how structures resist external loads by internal actions; the distribution of internal actions within structures.

Evaluation method and criteria

Final grade scheme is based on percentages of graded coursework. The weighting on each work is as follows:
Assignments: 50%
Mid-term Exam：25%
Final Exam: 25%
Grades on the assignments will be based both on correctness of the solution and on the quality of presentation of the calculations.
