On completion of the course, students are able to:
1. Apply the Principles of Virtual Work as well as the Castigliano’s
Theorem to calculate and illustrate the deflections in beams, trusses
and frames.
2. Employ the force or flexibility method of analysis to analyse statically
indeterminate trusses, beams and frames.
3. Apply the principles of structural analysis and formulate a method to
determine and construct the influence lines for statically determinate
and indeterminate structures.
4. Apply the principles of plastic analysis method in the analysis of
beams and frames.
