CIVL 657 - Indeterminate and Matrix Structural Analysis


Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisite: CIVL 309 or permission from Department Head
Analysis of indeterminate structures using moment distribution, energy methods such as virtual work and Castigliano’s Theorem. Matrix displacement method derived and simplified to a form suitable for structural engineering applications. Truss and frame applications with modifications for symmetry, internal releases, and support settlements. SAP2000 and other structural engineering software is used to compare with analytical solutions.
