Statics and stability of constructions II
CE36.00

Description
1. Elastic and linear elastic assumptions; the principle of superpositions, Deflections of Beams, Trusses, and Frames. Work-Energy Method for Computing Deflections
2. Analysis of indeterminate structures by the flexibility (Forced) method: concept of a redundant, fundamentals of flexibility method.
3. Analysis of indeterminate structures by the flexibility method: support settlements, temperature change, and fabrication errors; continuous beams: three-moment equation; beam on elastic supports.
4. Analysis of indeterminate structures by the flexibility method: Truss structures, Arches, and Plane structures loaded normally to their plane.
5. Analysis of indeterminate beams and frames by the Slope-Deflection Method (Displacement Method): derivation of the Slope-Deflection Equations, Beam-Column Connections, and Kinematic Indeterminacy.
Analysis of structures without sideways and analysis of structures that are free to sideways.
6. Moment Distribution (Hardy Cross Procedure): frames without sideways and frames with sidesways. 
7. Moment Distribution: temperature change (linear and nonlinear), elastic supports, support settlements,
fabrication errors. Analysis of effects of displacements at the coordinates.
8. Approximate analysis of indeterminate structures: approximate analysis of a multistory rigid frame for given loads, analysis of unbraced frames for lateral loads by portal and cantilever method.
9. Influence lines for indeterminate structures: construction of influence lines using the Muller-Breslau Principle. Qualitative influence lines for beams and frames.
10. Influence lines for continuous beams, (forced method, moment distribution). Live load patterns to maximize forces in multistory buildings.
11. Approximate analysis of wall structures. Outrigger-braced high-rise buildings.
12. Plastic analysis of continuous beams and frames 
13. Strut-and-tie models in reinforced concrete structures (Band D-regions).
14. Computer analysis of framed structures (element stiffness matrices, transformations matrices, equilibrium equations)
