Summary
The fundamental behaviour established in CIVE1025 is extended to cover the concepts of:
• Virtual work
• Analysis of indeterminate structures using the flexibility method
• Analysis of indeterminate structures using the stiffness method
• Instability of structural systems: instability and elastic collapse, strut buckling
• Plastic analysis and design: plastic collapse theorems of plastic analysis, plastic design
• Vibration

Educational Aims
To develop an understanding and confidence in carrying elastic and plastic analysis for determinate and inderterminate structures.To develop an understanding in fundamental dynamic behaviour conceptsLearning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
Analyse determinate and indeterminate structures using the virtual work method
Analyse statically indeterminate structures using the flexibility method
Analyse statically indeterminate structures using the stiffness method
Analyse beams and frames using the theorems of plastic collapse
Predict the buckling behaviour of struts and beams
Determine the dynamic response of a single degree of freedom oscillator
This will contribute to the following programme learning outcomes (see Programme Specification for details):
Knowledge and understanding of: A1, A2
Intellectual skills to: B1, B2
Professional/ Practical skills to: C2, C3
Professional/ Practical skills to: D1, D2
