Outline and Purpose of the Course The following topics are covered: external forces acted upon structures; properties of forces; sectional forces; stress and strain; displacement/deformation; cross sectional properties; calculation of displacement; buckling of column. Statically determinate structures are to be focused on.
Course Goals To grasp the methods for studying structures at static equilibrium conditions; to understand stress and strain, and the relationship between them; to understand the buckling phenomenon in columns.
