Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- analyse simple statically indeterminate structures, and apply the principle of superposition;
- evaluate how a simple column will buckle;
- determine the deflected shape of beams under a variety of loads;
- draw simple influence lines for moving lines on elementary beam structures; and
- determine the behaviour of elastic materials subjected to two-dimensional stress states. |
