CIV ENGR 417: Advanced Structural Analysis

Course Description

The course is designed as a continued study of structural analysis methods with emphases on indeterminate structures (trusses, beam/columns, and frames), advanced analysis methods, and introduction to nonlinear structural effects including geometric nonlinearity and inelasticity. Advanced structural analysis methods including force, displacement, matrix, energy, and limit analysis methods will be introduced and practiced. Both computer based and hands-on analysis will be involved.
