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) - Basic notions of critical load - Second order effects - Worked examples. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course is particularly dedicated to the analysis of statically undeterminate structures.
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. |
|

|
| Strength of materials - Elementary statics. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| A substantial part of the lectures is devoted to exercises and worked examples. |
|
