outcomes)
At the completion of the
course, students will have demonstrated the ability to
·
calculate internal forces, reaction forces and deflections for
indeterminate beams, trusses and frames (2)
·
create moment, shear diagrams for statically indeterminate structures
(2)
create influence line
diagrams for indeterminate structures (2), and
·
use computer software to analyze structures (2).
