Course content
Concept and definition of influence lines - Basic characteristics for statically determinate and indeterminate structures; analytical and kinematic methods for influence line computation; evaluation principles for influence lines under constant loads; determination of extreme effects from moving loads. Solution of statically indeterminate structures using the deformation method - Computational models for the deformation method, analysis of transformation indeterminacy, primary and secondary member states, primary end force vector. Solution of statically indeterminate structures using the deformation method - Member stiffness matrix, local and global coordinate systems, transformations, and transformation matrices. Solution of statically indeterminate structures using the deformation method - Structural analysis through stiffness matrix formulation, equilibrium conditions at connection points, and matrix representation. Solution of statically indeterminate structures using the deformation method - Calculation of total/member end forces. Simplified deformation method - Approximate solutions for structural analysis. Incorporation of dynamic effects - Inertial forces, damping, introduction to the finite element method, and an overview of structural analysis software tools.
