Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of StructuresWestern Sydney University Unit Code: 300205.1

Discipline: CIVIL ENGINEERING

Student Contribution Band: 2

Level: 7

Credit Points: 10

Assumed Knowledge
Students must have knowledge in engineering mathematics, engineering mechanics at intermediate level and structural analysis of fundamental level.

About this Unit
This unit introduces students to linear and nonlinear structural analysis of trusses, beams and frames. It covers the first-order elastic analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures and nonlinear analysis of beams and frames. This unit aims to teach students to master basic skills in structural analysis as well as skills in using computer software to analyse complex structures.
