Start studying STE 303 free →Analysis of stress and strain, phenomenological material behaviour, extension, bending, and transverse shear stresses in beams with general cross-sections, shear centre, deflection of beams, torsion of beams, warping, column instability and failure. Analysis of truss and frame structures using matrix methods; matrix force methods; matrix displacement method; analysis concepts based on theorem of virtual work; moment distribution. Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. determine the design loading on structures using design codes and assessing the load paths for common structural forms; 2. identify points of certainty regarding structures deformation/rotation to qualitatively construct shear force and bending moment diagrams for both statically determinate and indeterminate structures; 3. apply the principle of virtual work to calculate the deflections of truss, beam and frame structures; 4. employ the principles of virtual work and compatibility to evaluate the internal forces and deflections of truss, beam and frame structures; and 5. demonstrate the analysis of both sway and no-sway frame structures using the slope- deflection equations . STE 304 Construction Technology (3 Units: C: LH 45) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course. the students should be able to: 1. introduce and master construction safety precaution and awareness; 2
