Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide the student with fundamentals of analysis of statically determinate plane frames, deflection and rotation analysis of statically determinate beams and frames, fundamentals of analysis of statically indeterminate structural systems such as beams and simple plane frames and also to associate these concepts with the architecture of the structure.
