Course Overview
Presents a basic introduction to the relationship between applied loads and the resulting stresses and deformations produced in common structural elements. The course is delivered through lectures and problem solving sessions. Topics include geometric properties of structural sections, concepts of stress and strain, mechanical behavior of construction materials, elementary design using allowable stresses and factors of safety, analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate axially loaded bars, thermal stresses, bending and shear stresses in beams, deflection of beams, combined stresses, and column buckling.
