This course introduces the student to the analysis of plane, statically determinate and indeterminate structures together with the calculation of axial/shear force and bending moment diagrams. The influence lines of statically determinate structures are also covered in length. The course, after reviewing force and moment diagrams, focuses on the Principle of Virtual Work for the calculation of deformations. A large fraction of the course is dedicated on the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. The student is introduced systematically to the process of structural analysis and the effectiveness of energy methods.
