This document provides an overview of the CE 231 Statics course for the Fall 2016 semester taught by Professor Larry Bank. The recitation instructor is Henry Lin and the teaching assistant is Yaxin Zhang. The course covers fundamental statics concepts including particle and rigid body equilibrium using Newton's Second Law.

Galileo proposed a new science, that considered how the size and
shape of structural members affects their ability to carry and transmit
loads.

What is Statics?

So - What is

Statics?

Statics is the study of particle and rigid body structure


equilibrium.
The basic principle we will use is Newtons 2nd law
of motion:

F ma

1643-1727
Isaac Newton, Philosophi Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Latin
for "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, 1687.
The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the
foundation of classical mechanics.

CE 231 statics
CE 322 mechanics of deformable bodies
CE 350 fluid mechanics
CE 340 structural analysis

We will spend considerable time becoming


proficient in applying this law to engineering
problems.

Why is Statics Important?


CE 321 is the fundamental building block
for all of these courses.
Few guarantees in life: if you struggle in
Statics .... You will succeed as an engineer

CE 435 dynamics of ce systems


CE 440 finite element analysis
CE 441/2 concrete and steel design
CE 530 advanced mech of materials

Expectations

Tips for Success in Statics

Do assigned reading before class.

Do all assigned reading.

Do all assigned home work.

Assigned HW represents a minimal set of


requirements.

Good attendance at lectures and recitation


sections.
Allocate sufficient time EVERY WEEK to
statics. This is a 4 contact hour course
which means you should spend a
minimum of 4 x 3 = 12 hours/week on it!

Tips, contd.
Get help as soon as possible (not the hour
before homework is due!)
TAs (Mr. Lin and Ms. Zhang): They are available
and are eager to help you. Visit them often in their
office during office hours or by appointment.
- Me (Prof. Bank). I am eager to help during office
hours and by email. I will respond to emails typically
within one hour at any time of day or night!

At a minimum, you need to be successful with these


problems.
To gain greater mastery, do extra problems:
Extra HW.
Extra problems in the text book
Dont spend more than 20 minutes/problem. Get help!

Prof Bank's Office Hours (subject to


change)

Mon 1:00 - 3:00


Wed - 1:00 - 3:00

I will be in my
office during
these times

By appointment (use email to arrange an


appointment [email protected] )
I am often not at CCNY on Tue. Thur. & Fri
(working from other office)

Courtesy During Lectures


Arrive for lecture on time.
No sleeping, reading newspapers (?), etc.
during lecture. I expect your attention to be
focused on statics for 75 minutes.
No internet surfing ... it is very distracting
to neighbors.

ALSO BY APPOINTMENT
Please wait until class is dismissed before
leaving. I will set an alarm so you know!

Attendance & recitation Sessions


Attendance at lectures and recitation sections is
expected and will be taken.
recitation sessions will usually begin with a short
quiz (e.g., first 10 minutes of the period).
YOU MUST BE ON TIME.
First recitation session is THIS WED AUG 31.
You must attend the recitation session for your
section since that is how attendance will be taken
and quizzes given.

These will be automatically graded.
Work with peers is acceptable (encouraged!).
To complete Connect HW, see the McGraw-Hill web
site address given in the syllabus.
Connect HW assignments may be submitted in
advance of the due date; they are automatically
submitted, even if your work is not complete, at
7:00pm FRIDAYS of each week.
I'll say more about how to get started on Connect
soon.

Text HW: Traditional problems from the text book.


This will not be collected.
Other Special Exercises: These will be collected and
graded in recitations.

Text HW
Traditional problems from the text book.
These will not be collected.
Work with peers is acceptable (encouraged!).
Answers to even-numbered problems available at
www.mhhe.com/pgc2e .. or .. on the class website
Full solutions will be posted on the course website.

Syllabus
Quiz dates: For Quizzes 1, 2, 3, and 4, you must
plan on being present. NO EXCUSES NO
MAKEUPS. OFFICIAL NOTE FOR MISSING A
QUIZ IS REQUIRED.
Connect HW due dates: FRIDAY 7 PM.
Special Exercises due dates: TO BE DETERMINED

Lecture Notes
Notes for each of our lectures will be posted on the
class web site.
These should be supplemented by notes you take
during lecture.
I recommend that you print the notes ahead of
time, and bring them to the lecture.

Announcements
Announcements will typically be made at the
beginning of each lecture. If you are 5 minutes
early you are late.
Additional announcements/tips/rules will be made
during each lecture.
These announcements will usually not be duplicated
in email messages.
If you miss a lecture, please see make sure to ask
your classmates or TA before the next lecture for any
missed announcements.

Getting Started with Connect


Go to the McGraw-Hill Connect web site address
for this course (also given on the syllabus):
https://connect.mheducation.com/class/l-bankstatics-ce-231-fall-2016
You must register for CONNECT by Friday Sept
9, 2016 so you can submit your first
homework.
Tip: If you are having technical trouble, it
might help to try a different browser (e.g.,
Google Chrome vs Safari, etc).

Tips on Connect HW
Do your work neatly with pencil and paper, and
consider this to be the best record of your work.
If for some reason Connect loses your work (and this
does happen occasionally), by doing your work neatly
with pencil and paper, you'll have all the information you
need in case you must go back and re-enter something.
In some cases, you may need to submit this work to an
instructor for manual grading, and it is essential that your
handwritten work be complete and neat for you to obtain
full credit.
Hit "Save and Exit" often.
