Shear and moment diagrams are introduced as well as several methods of calculating deflections. Both statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures are analyzed, and some elements of those structures are designed. Several methods for analysis of beams and frames are presented, including moment area, virtual work, Castigliano's theorem, solution of the governing differential equation, slope deflection, and moment distribution. Statically determinate and indeterminate structures are analyzed and theory of stability is introduced. This course examines the principles of operations management in the construction industry.
Students analyze simple structures by hand calculation, and larger structures by computer.
The course reviews subsurface explorations, testing and identification of soils, stress-strain time relationships, and soils permeability characteristics, including shear strength and consolidation and seepage properties. Origin and occurrence of typical natural deposits such as glacial, river, windblown, and residual deposits are also covered. This course covers the design and review of the various components of steel structures. Discussion includes steel structures, flexural members, beam-columns, connections, splices, and miscellaneous details. This course is a continuation of 565.125.
