Academic Staff Specifics E-mail Address Office Hours Office No. Rank Name wrifaie@philadelphia.edu.jo As announced on my office door 211 Prof. Dr. Wail Al-Rifaie Course module description: Analysis of statically indeterminate structures: flexibility (force) method; slope deflection method; moment distribution method. Introduction to stiffness matrix method of structural analysis. Plastic methods of structural analysis. Course module objectives: Provide a thorough understanding and practical applications of structural analysis theories. Develop the skills to analyze the behavior and response of statically indeterminate structures to various loads and constraints. Establish foundation knowledge and skills in preparation for structural design, concrete and steel design. After successfully completing this course, the students will be able to: Analyze statically indeterminate structures (truss, beam and frame) under various loading conditions. Determine internal forces (axial, shear and moment) in structural members and reactions using equilibrium and compatibility equations. Demonstrate progress in problem solving skills and analytical thinking.
