Structural Analysis II – Indeterminate structures

General

Course Contents

Introduction to statically indeterminate structures. Differences between statically determinate and
indeterminate structures
Deformation Method (Method of Nodal Displacements). Application to plane structures. Symmetry
of structures and loading.Support retreat, settlements, elastic supports, thermal loads.
Force Method. Application to plane structures, frames and trusses. Comparison to the Deformation
Method
Influence lines of indeterminate structures. Müller-Breslau Principle. Computation of the extreme
response values.

Educational Goals

Comprehend the degree of indeterminacy. Analyse statically indeterminate structures. Compute,
displacements and rotations. Determine the influence of temperature changes and support
movements on structural response
