410331 Theory of Structures INSTRUCTORS: TEXT: Dr.Tanongsak Bisarnsin Structural Analysis, 4 Edition (1999) Russell C. Hibbeler nd Structural Analysis, 2 Edition (1999) Aslam Kassimali 410211 Mechanics of Material I The course covers the fundamentals and mechanics in determining the structural loads and member forces, influence lines, and deflections of the structural system. The emphasis is on using the intuitive classical approach to develop the understanding the basic principles of structural analysis. The course intends to lay the basic foundation for the study of the computer structural analysis.

PREREQUISITE: DESCRIPTION:

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The students are expected to be able to apply the theory to structures involving the strategy in the process of formulation, execution, and the diagrammatic interpretation of the results. They are expected to be proficient in the construction of axial, shear, bending-moment diagrams, elastic curves, and influence line of determinate structures such as beams, frames, and trusses. They are expected to be able to apply the concept to simple indeterminate structures.
