ENGS 355 - Structural Analysis

Course Description
This course covers the analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures; moment-area and conjugate beam methods; deflection of beams, trusses, and frames; consistent deformations method; influence lines; moment distribution method; and introduction to matrix methods in structures.
