Outcome
Students will be able to:
• Apply the methods of joints and sections to analyze statically determinate trusses.
• Develop shear and moment diagrams of statically determinate beams, beam
assemblages, and frames.
• Develop influence lines.
• Apply the elastic beam theory and the double
integration, moment/area,
• Conjugate beam, and energy methods to analyze the deformation of beams6, trusses,
and frames.
All students are expected to abide by the code of conduct of students and the
Senate Legislation of the University throughout this course. Academic
dishonest including cheating, fabrication, and plagiarism will not be tolerated at
any stage during your studies and will be reported to concerned bodies for action.
While team work is highly encouraged, dependence and copying ones work and
submitting other’s work is considered as serious act of cheating and shall be
penalized.
Course policy
If you are having problems with the assignments or tests, contact the instructor
as soon as possible.
Students are expected to attend class regularly. A student who misses more than
20% of the semester class is not eligible to sit for final exam. Punctuality is
equally important.
If you must bring a cell phone to class, make sure that it is absolutely silent and
does not disturb any one. The teaching-learning process shall be disrupted by
no means.
