Description: Theory and Analysis of Statically Determinate Structures
OBJECTIVE:
At
the end of the semester, the students will be able to:
1. Mentally grasp the basic principles
and theory in the structured analysis of determinate structures (Beam, Rigid Frame and Truss).
2. apply these principles and theories
into practical use as a requisite to the analysis and design of determinate structures
