Area of Study :
Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
1. Identify the types of structural members.
2. Verify the stability of various types of structural systems.
3. Name the causes of instability of structures.
4. Identify the determinacy of a structure and its degree.
5. Apply the equations of equilibrium to get the reactions at supports for different
structures subjected to different load types.
6. Calculate the internal force values at any sections in beam or frame structures under
various loads.
7. Draw the internal force diagrams for beam and frame structures subjected to
concentrated, uniform and triangle loads.
8. Recognize the relationship between load, shear and bending moment in frame
elements.
9. Analyze truss structures and determine internal forces in truss members using joint
and section methods.
