Structural Analysis for Architects

Elementary structural analysis techniques; establishing different types of structures and degree of determinacy, calculating reactions and drawing diagrams for internal forces (axial force, shear, and bending moment) for determinate beams, trusses, frames, arches and cables.

Students completing this course successfully will be able to
1. Recognize the idealization, determinacy and stability of structures and different types of floor systems.
2. Analyze internal forces for determinate trusses, beams and frames.
3. Analyze internal forces for determinate arches and cables.
4. Calculate deflection for beams, and trusses using numerical methods.
