Text: Matrix Structural Analysis by Aslam Kassimali
Scope: This continuation of Structural Analysis I (CEGR 314) covers the analytical treatment of indeterminate structures, using VIRTUAL WORK and other methods. The classical methods of SLOPE-DEFLECTION and MOMENT DISTRIBUTION are followed by a detailed treatment of the STIFFNESS METHOD of modeling structures – both determinate and indeterminate. The STIFFNESS METHOD is the primary emphasis of the course. The DISCRETE ELEMENT approach and the accompanying modeling of structures in the form of a matrix equation are covered. The theoretical material of the course is complemented by computer programming assignments and projects based upon the discrete element method.
