Learning Outcomes
1. | Evaluate structural deflections and rotations for a range of structures (modelled as connected linear elements), which behave in a linear and elastic manner; | ||
2. | Evaluate internal axial forces, shearing forces and bending moments for a range of determinate and indeterminate structures (modelled as connected linear elements), which behave in a linear and elastic manner; | ||
3. | Create and analyse structure models using a commercial computer program, where structures are modelled as connected linear elements which behave in a linear and elastic manner; | ||
4. | Critically evaluate a range of approximate solutions for common structures; and | ||
5. | Determine solutions and undertake standard structural engineering analyses. |
