Module code: CSE5011-B
Structural Mechanics and Structural Analysis are fundamental subjects in Civil Engineering that form the basis for structural design. This module provides students with an understanding of the key concepts and the skills to solve different structural engineering problems. The main aims of the module are as follows: 1. To enable students to evaluate the concepts of a general three-dimensional stress and strain state and to relate these concepts to the behaviour of actual materials and structural elements. 2. To extend the students’ ability to deal with normal force, shear force and bending moment in statically determinate beam assemblies with internal hinges and cranked members. 3. To introduce methods for determining the displacements in statically determinate beams, frames and trusses. To introduce and develop understanding of the flexibility method, with applications to indeterminate beams, frames and trusses with a single redundancy. 4. To articulate structural mechanics and analysis concepts in a clear, concise manner. 5. To work collaboratively in understanding and solving structural mechanics and analysis problems.
