This course presents a thorough introduction to the relationship between applied loads and the resultant support reactions and internal forces developed in statically determinate members and structures. Topics include classification of force systems, equilibrium equations, support conditions, freebody diagrams, support reactions, truss analysis by the methods of joints and sections, analysis of pinned plane frames, geometric properties of sections, distributed loading, and load, shear force and bending moment diagrams for beams.
There will be no class on Monday, May 21, 2018 (Victoria Statutory Holiday) and Monday, July 2, 2018 (day in lieu of Canada Day Statutory Holiday). This course will run for a total of 24 classes.
