Course Objectives	To develop an understanding of the basic principles of structural analysis and become familiar with various methods of analysis for frame structures.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students can develop equations of static equilibrium, can determine stability and determinacy of structures Students can draw the internal force diagrams of the plane frames Students can draw the influence diagrams for statically determinate beams and planar trusses Students can compute deflections of statically determinate trusses and planar frames Students will be able to determine the reactions of statically indeterminate two-dimensional frames Students will be able to draw the internal force diagrams of statically indeterminate planar structures. Students will be able to compute the deflections of planar structures Students will have an understanding of the fundamental concepts and numerical characteristics of the finite element method. Students will have an appreciation of the capabilities and limitations of commercial structural analysis software when they encounter it in the following courses and in engineering practice.
Course Content	Analysis of discrete member systems, displacement and force methods of analysis, direct stiffness method, static and kinematic condensation, substructure analysis.
