CE 312 Theory of Indeterminate Structures

This course topics are qualitative and approximate analysis of indeterminate structures, deflection computations by moment-area, conjugate beam, and virtual work, classical indeterminate structural analysis by Force Method, Slope-Deflection Method, and Moment Distribution Method, and modern indeterminate structural analysis by the matrix-displacement method, including computer programming. Students will learn how simple finite element structural analysis programs work.
