| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | Methods of structural analysis : Introduction - Basic theorems - Flexibility method (classical) - Stiffness method (classical, simplified, use of software) - Moment distribution method - Trusses - Influence lines - Plastic global analysis (basic theorems, static and kinematic methods) - Second order effects - Worked examples. |
|
| Course objective : | Deliver the background of the methods of global analysis and train to the determination of internal forces and displacements in a given structure subjected to a given loading.
Develop the physical understanding of geometric (second order effects) and matérial (yielding) non linearities and discuss their consequences. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Strength of materials - Elementary statics. |

| Workshops : | A substantial part of the lectures is devoted to exercises and worked examples. |
|
| Organization : | Lectures and exercises are organised alternately. |
|
| Written notes : | Available. |
|
| Assessment : | Separate oral (theory) and written (exercises) examinations. |
