Course Overview - Structural Analysis II

This 3-sentence summary provides the essential information about the structural analysis course: This structural analysis course uses the displacement method (stiffness matrix method) to analyze linear-elastic structures subjected to various loads and conditions, with lectures covering topics like one-bay beams, kinematic indeterminacy, displacement solutions, temperature effects, iterative and matrix analysis methods, nonlinear and stability analysis, and using software like FTOOL. Students are evaluated based on homework assignments and a final exam, with homeworks due throughout the semester and lectures held twice weekly.

COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is about the analysis oflinear-elastic sffuctures, subjected to different static action types, applied loads, support settlements and temperature changes, using the classical formulation of Displacement Method (the Stiffness Matrix Method). The analysis tools for hand computation are developed and additionally, the basics of computational structural analysis tool are presented in order to get'familiar with matrix analysis of structures and use of typical software. The lectures will introduce also fundamentals of nonlinear behavior of structures and of stability analysis.

REQUIREMENTS

Lectures and classes: The lectures and classes are developed over 2 and 3 hours/week, respectively.

Homeworks: You must submit 5 individual homeworks in order to attend the final examination. maximum grade, the homeworks will be presented at the specified deadlines. ! Late homeworks will be not considered on the final grading.

Similar applications will be solved during classes. You are requested to bring the pocket calculator for hand calculation, during lectwes and classes. You will be also assisted to build simple analysis algorithms and run structural analyses by typical freewares (e.g. FTOOL, available for download at https://web.tecgraf.puc-rio.brlftooVftooleng.html).

Evaluation: The evaluation process consists of (1) submitting the individual homeworks by due date and (2) by final
examination. Homework's availability: one academic year, including the current session and the re-examination session.
The students who did not passed the past examinations must actively participate to lectures and classes, and to solve the current homeworks.
