CIVE 2320 — Structural Analysis

4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: fall, springtypical days: M/ThBostonTraditional

Connects fundamentals from CIVE 2221 to analyze stresses, strains, strength, forces, and displacements in regular structures and structural members such as trusses, beams, frames, and arches. Covers shear stresses in beams; combined stress analysis (bars with axial load plus shear and bending); introduction to buckling; influence lines (application to statically determinate systems); computation of deflections (statically determinate systems); and analysis of indeterminate structures using virtual work and the flexibility method. Introduces applications to sensing and monitoring of civil structures using the flexibility method and moment distribution.
