| 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. Also use the theorem of the minimum total potential energyy to derive the the elastic critical loads of structures. |
