Detailed Objectives: This course is intended to provide the necessary background for the analysis and design of different structural systems. Six main objectives are defined as follows: 1- Analysis of Statically Determinate Structures: includes calculation of internal forces (i.e. axial forces, shear forces, and bending moments) beams and frames. 2- Analysis of Statically Determinate Trusses: includes calculation of support reactions, and internal forces for trusses. 3- Analysis of Statically Determinate Structures under moving loads: includes plotting influence lines diagrams for trusses and beams, and determining loading for maximum effects.

4- Analysis of Stress and Strain: includes: 2-D stress and strain, combined and principal stresses, Mohr's circle and Hooke's law. 5- Simple Beam Theory: includes geometrical properties of sections and shear and bending stresses. 6- Column Buckling: includes critical loads, critical stresses and end conditions. Course Grade: The course grade will be based on one announced midterm, a final comprehensive exam, as well as homework assignments. The grading weights are as follow: Homework Assignments: 25 Midterm : 20 Final Examination: 105 Students are required to attend all exams. A make-up exam will only be offered in the event of exceptional circumstances. Homeworks will be assigned weekly. Late homeworks will be accepted but with a penalty of 2 points out of 10. Solution of homework assignments will be handed out. Once the solution is handed out, late homeworks will not be accepted. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss homework assignments with class mates, but are required to submit homeworks individually. Attendance is required for each lecture. Students are allowed to miss only 25% of lectures and sections throughout the course or they will not be allowed to attend the final exam.
