Course Summary
This course introduces modeling and design of structural elements subjected to transverse loads (beams). It builds on prior knowledge and skills of analysis and design of structural members subjected to axial loads and trusses.
You will learn to evaluate internal forces, moments and corresponding stresses in beams through problem solving sessions and possible laboratory activities. This knowledge will be applied to a real-life design project, developing skills in design of structures to satisfy functional and strength requirements.
This course provides foundation knowledge, skills and their application which are relevant to subsequent courses in Civil Engineering.
Whilst CIVE1188 Structural Analysis is based in the City Campus, laboratory work or other hands on work may take place in the Bundoora East Campus from 2021 onwards. Please consult with your course coordinator for more information.
