COREREQUISITE: None
TEXT: R. C. Hibbeler, Structural Analysis,
4TH Edition.
COURSE
GOALS:
·
To introduce classical and some
modern methods for analyzing determinate/indeterminate beam, truss, and frame
type structures.
·
To provide the necessary background
for the proper use of computer programs for structural analysis.
·
To provide understanding of the
application of theoretical concepts to practical problems in bridge and
building analysis.
SUMMARY
OF COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of the course the
student will be able to:
·
Construct shear and moment diagrams
for determinate/indeterminate beam and frame type structures.
·
Determine axial forces in
determinate/indeterminate truss type structures.
·
Determine deformations (deflections
and rotations) of determinate/indeterminate structures using various classical
and modern methods of analysis.
·
Construct influence lines for
determinate/indeterminate structures and subsequently position dead and live
loads to cause the maximum forces.
·
Apply theoretical concepts to
practical problems in structural engineering.
·
Analyze different types of
determinate/indeterminate structures using a structural analysis computer
program and interpret the results.
·
Understand concepts of stiffness and
energy as it relates to structural mechanics.
CONTRIBUTION OF COURSE TO MEETING THE PROFESSIONAL
COMPONENT:
This course provides
the student with the necessary background to perform entry-level professional
work in structural analysis and civil (structural) engineering.
RELATIONSHIP
OF COURSE TO PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
This course satisfies the structural
mechanics and analysis components of the CE program.
HOMEWORK,
EXAMS, AND GRADING:
The final grade for the course will
be evaluated based on the breakdown given below.
3
In-Class Exams 54%
(18% each)
Final
Exam 25%
Quizzes 5%
Homework
(includes computer and laboratory projects) 16%
There will be 3 in-class exams and a
final exam (comprehensive). The
in-class exams and final exam will cover material from class lectures,
homework, and reading assignments. All
exams must be taken at the scheduled time and date set by the instructor unless
prior arrangements are made.
Homework
must be submitted on standard engineering paper in a professional format (i.e.,
neat and well organized) at the beginning of the class period on the assigned
due date. An overall homework average of 60% is required to pass the
course. Assignments will be graded based on both
presentation and content. Illegible and
unorganized work will not be graded.
Ten percent of credit will be deducted for every day an assignment is
late. Homework turned in 3 or more days
after the due date will receive no credit.
Make-up work will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
GENERAL POLICIES:
It
is to the student’s benefit that he/she attends all class lectures since
homework is assigned and unannounced quizzes may be given. Unexcused class absences and academic misconduct
will be dealt with according to the regulations specified in the 1999-2000 NMSU
Undergraduate Catalog.
STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES:
If
you have or believe you have a disability, you may wish to self-identify. You can do so by providing documentation to
the Services for Students with Disabilities, SSD, located at Garcia Annex
(Phone: 646-6840). Appropriate
accommodations may then be provided for you.
If
you have a condition which may affect your ability to exit safely from the
premises in an emergency or which may cause an emergency during class, you are
encouraged to discuss this in confidence with the instructor and/or the
director of SSD. If you have general
questions about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), call the ADA
coordinator at 646-3333.
