Theory of Structures 1: CE131P SY 2016-2017

This document discusses structural analysis and engineering. Structural analysis predicts how a structure will perform under loads using models, including idealized models that account for supports, gravity loads, and lateral loads. Structural engineering then plans, designs, and constructs safe, economical structures to serve their intended purposes using structural analysis in preliminary planning and design phases to estimate loads and ensure safety and serviceability requirements are met.

INTRODUCTION TO
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Structural Analysis is the prediction of the performance of a given


structure under a prescribed loads and/or other external effects,
such as support movements and temperature changes.
