Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- calculate the elastic pattern of stress resultants in a 2D redundant beam or frame structure by hand;
- calculate the joint displacements of sway frames by hand;
- use a computer program to calculate the same elastic stress resultants;
- describe the computational process which the computer program would use;
- present the results in appropriate diagrams. |
