This unit covers the basic principles of stress analysis, structural behaviour and interpretation of force systems. At the end of the course, successful students will be able to explain how structural engineering relates to science, mathematics and human needs; understand the basic principles of force systems, equilibrium and elastic analysis, and how these may be applied to the design of engineering structures; be able to solve simple problems in structures and stress analysis and know how to devise mathematical models of simple structural problems.
Aims:
To learn the basic principles of stress analysis and structural behaviour.
At the end of the course, successful students will:
1.5 hour test (Jan) 20% 3 hour exam (May/June) 80%
