Structural analysis lecture notes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the availability and utility of lecture notes for statics of indeterminate structures, specifically focusing on force and displacement methods, as well as influence lines. Users highlighted the broken links to these resources, particularly the original link from the University of Toronto, which has since changed. Additionally, the discussion mentions the software LINPRO for calculating internal forces and deflections in structural constructions, along with a new educational app called "Truss Me" designed to enhance learning through interactive challenges.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of statics in structural engineering
  • Familiarity with force and displacement methods
  • Knowledge of influence lines in structural analysis
  • Experience with structural analysis software like LINPRO
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest version of LINPRO for structural calculations
  • Explore the educational app "Truss Me" for interactive learning in structural engineering
  • Investigate alternative resources for statics of indeterminate structures
  • Learn about the implications of broken links in academic resources and how to find updated materials
USEFUL FOR

Civil engineers, structural engineering students, educators in engineering disciplines, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of statics and structural analysis methods.

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

Link's broken. would you mind giving a new one?
 
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!
