Unit Code: CED606

Unit Name: Mechanics of Structures II

Description: When engineers are required to analyse a structure, it is required to have known about the analytical behaviour of complex structural engineering problems under various action of loads in order to carry out the design. This course will help you to understand the lateral load analysis, concepts, principles, various loading actions and their effects while analysing various statically indeterminate structures. Being an engineer, excellent comprehension is necessary on how to make structural analysis for buildings, bridges, and other structures. This course is also expected to enable a good understanding of how standard software packages (routinely used for frame analysis in design offices) operate like Space Gass and Autodesk-Robot Strucutral Analysis. Student need to model different types of beams, frames, and trusses under different types of loading conditions for assessment of their effects and need to compare the software analytical results with the class room problems.
