| This unit provides students with an understanding of the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structural systems, and structural behaviour under load. Within this unit, student will study Energy Concepts, Introduction to Virtual Work, Deflection of Statically Determinate Frameworks, Forces in Statically Indeterminate Frameworks, Strain Energy and Complementary Energy, Portal Frames and Arches, Asymmetric Bending, Combined Bending and Axial Force, Middle Third and Middle Quarter Rules, Strut Theory, Euler Loads, Perry Robertson Formula, Southwell Plot, Shear Centre, Torsion of Non-Circular Cross-Sections, Rolling Loads, Influence Lines. Introduction to Computer Methods of Structural Analysis and Introduction to Limit State Design Loads using Australian Standards. Students will develop the ability to carry out calculations that underpin the identification, analysis and resolution of structural problems as well as the design of new structures.
