Aims: To analyse simple frames in bending by hand; To understand the behaviour of structural members under different loading conditions and to calculate the stresses generated;
This unit seeks to give students the skills and knowledge required to analyse plane frames and multi-span beams and to determine the resulting stresses. Mathematical models for stress calculations are extended to beams of different cross-sections and elasto-plastic behaviour.
By the end of the course, successful students will:
22 Lectures, 11 example classes and experimental classes
100% 2 hour examination in January (2 hours)
