ADVANCED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Course Description:
To learn advanced methods of structural analysis and to apply these methods for analysis of indeterminate structures. To impart preliminary knowledge of analysing structures using finite element method

Course Outline:
• Degree of freedom • Basis of stiffness method • Application of stiffness matrix method to various type of structures e.g. Continuous beams, Trusses, Frames and grids, partially discontinuous structures, Temperature effects • Flexibility Matrix Method • Application of flexibility matrix method to various types of structures, Analysis of pin jointed trusses, Rigid frames • Finite Element Method
