Description This subject introduces students to the aspects of structural analysis of trusses, beams and frames. It covers the first-order elastic analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures. This course aims to teach students to master basic skills in structural analysis as well as skills in using computer software to analyse complex structures.
