GCIV0030-1  Hyperstatic Structures
Duration :  30h Th, 40h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
civil engineering in architecture, 1st year7
Holder(s) :  
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  Part 1 - Fundamentals of Structural Analysis: Introduction - General theorems - Internal forces and deflections in statically determinate structures - Influence lines - Methods of structiral analysis for statically indeterminate structures - Flexibility method - Stiffness method - Rotation method - Moment distribution method - Exercises.
Part 2 - Fundamentals of Elastic Plate Theory : Pure bending - Bending under transverse loads - Support conditions - Solving the fundamental equation - Circular plates - Approximate solutions.
Course objective :  From the general theorems, develop the several methods of elastic first order structural analysis for statically indeterminate structures such as continous beams and frames. Also provide an introduction to the elastic theory of plates.
Prerequisites :  Elementary statics - Mechanics of solids and materials.
Workshops :  Exercises and evaluation.
Organization :  Lectures (30 h) and exercises (40 h) organised as periods of 2 to 4 hours.
Written notes :  Available.
Assessment :  Several evaluations (only exercises) during the semester. At the end of the semester, written and oral examinations devoted respectively to practical applications and theoretical aspects.
