Structural analysis lecture notes

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a set of lecture notes focused on the statics of indeterminate structures, including force and displacement methods, as well as influence lines. Participants share resources, express appreciation, and discuss software tools related to structural analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants find the lecture notes useful for investigating statics of indeterminate structures.
  • One participant shares a software tool, LINPRO, for calculating internal forces and deflection in structural constructions.
  • Several participants report issues with broken links to the lecture notes and request updated URLs.
  • A participant introduces an app called "Truss Me," designed to complement traditional education by engaging students in a game-like environment focused on structural concepts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the availability of the lecture notes, as multiple participants report broken links. Some express appreciation for the resources, while others highlight the issues with accessing them.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention broken links and the need for updated URLs, indicating a dependency on external resources that may not be reliable. The discussion also reflects varying approaches to learning and teaching structural analysis.

Who May Find This Useful

Students and professionals interested in structural engineering, particularly those looking for educational resources and software tools for analyzing indeterminate structures.

An extremely useful set of lecture notes for anyone who wants to investigate statics of indeterminate structures (i.e. the force and displacement methods). Influence lines are included too.

It is a good set of notes.
Thanks!:smile:

Cheers. I might need those sometime later in the future. :)
 
good enough.
------------
and this ... great valued software to calculate internal forces + deflection
for any structural construction.

the link is doesn't work to me : 403 Forbidden
what's wrong ?

@civilworks
yeah, i have linpro, good program... .
 
Dead link. RIP

Update the link please. Thanks

Hi, I am a Prof. of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech and my area is structures and materials. Instead of making lecture notes I made an app to help on the "intuitive" side of things. The idea is to complement traditional education/methods by bringing into the equation the creative side of students. The name of the app is "Truss Me" and its goal is to help you learn while playing different challenges. It looks and feels like a game but I made sure the mechanics is the real deal. You can take a look at it here:

Hope you like it!
