Course Contents This course deals with understanding of basic structural behaviour. Students will learn about concepts such as stress and strain under different kinds of loading (e.g. tensile, shear and bending). Additionally, students will develop skills to solve statically indeteminate structural problems. Study Goals At the end of this course, the student will be able to: • Use mechanics to solve basic problems dealing with the stress/strain/displacement of structures in static equilibrium under mechanical & thermal loads. • Use mechanics to solve basic problems dealing with the relation between material behaviour & structural behaviour under mechanical & thermal loads.
