Description

Solid mechanics applied to structural systems. Analysis of indeterminate structures. Introduction to structural dynamics and the response of structures to earthquakes.

Learning Outcomes

  • The specific aims of the course are to enhance the students’ understanding of:

  • the fundamental computational principles used in the analysis of indeterminate structures and members under static loading
  • the force and displacement methods to analyse/solve indeterminate structural systems
  • the energy concepts and their use in analysing/solving statically determinate and indeterminate structural systems
  • the concept of moment redistribution and its application in solving statically indeterminate structures
  • the fundamentals of structural dynamics by examining the behaviour of linear single-degree-of-freedom systems subject to simple and complex excitations
  • the applications of structural dynamics to earthquake engineering.

Assessment

Assessment Due Date Percentage 
Assignment 20%
final exam 40%
Test 40%


1.  You cannot pass this course unless you achieve a mark of at least 40% in each of the mid-semester test and the final exam. A student who narrowly fails to achieve 40% in either the test or exam, but who performs very well in the other, may be eligible for a pass in the course.

2.  All assignments must be submitted by the due date. Late submissions will not be accepted. If a student is unable to complete and submit an assignment by the deadline due to personal circumstances beyond their control they should discuss this with the lecturer involved as soon as possible.

3.  Assignments can be done and submitted in pair.

4.  Students in this course can apply for aegrotat consideration provided they have sat the mid-term test, the final exam or both.

5.  The test will be held during the first week of the second term.
