Students will be able to:
-
Identify structural classification and stability of structures
-
Environmental and several load types on structures based on Ethiopian Building
Code Standards (ES-EN 1991-1-4-2005 and ES- EN 1998-1-1-2005).
- Develop/ construct influence lines for statically determinate structures
- Enhance for the determination of deflection for statically determinate structures
- Present different analysis mechanics for the deflection of determinate structures /
beams, trusses, and frames/using Direct Integration, Moment-Area, Conjugate-
Course Objectives Beam, Virtual Work, Graphical multiplication Methods.
- analysis statically indeterminate structures using consistent deformation method
- To identify the joint displacements in a structure (kinematic indeterminacy)

To present different analysis mechanics for the analysis of statically
indeterminate structures such as Slope Deflection Method, Cross Method of
Moment Dis

determining the deflections of a number of basic structural elements: beams, frames
and trusses. These elements represent the basic components used to form more
complex structural systems.
