Basics Of Structural Engineering & Analysis Online Course

Explore the characteristics of the force system, including types of forces, magnitude, point of application, and line of action, and classify coplanar vs non-coplanar forces (concurrent, parallel, non-concurrent).

Determine RA and RB for a simply supported beam using moment balance and force equilibrium, with 100 N and 50 N loads and the f d method.

Explore how columns carry vertical loads and bending moments, transfer them to footings, and how footings deliver loads to soil while preventing sliding and overturning.

Explore beam types in structural engineering, including simply supported, fixed, cantilever, continuous beams, reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and prestressed or precast concrete options.

Explore types of slabs, including one-way and two-way slabs, flat slabs and plates, slab on grade, post-tension and precast options, with load transfer and cost advantages like 24 percent savings.

Explore the concept of stress in structural materials, including normal stress, tensile stress, compressive stress, torsional stress, and bending moments, and the relation between force, distance, and deformation.

Explore the concept of strain in structural engineering, defined as the change in dimensions divided by the original size, with types including tensile, compressive, volumetric, and shear strain.

Explore the stress–strain relationship, define elastic limit and elasticity, and explain Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio with a focus on elastic behavior and proportional limits.

Explore shear force and bending moment concepts, sign conventions, and diagram construction for beams under point and distributed loads, including simply supported, cantilever, and fixed cases.

Study fixed and cantilever beams, determine reactions and bending moments under point, uniform, and triangular loads, and develop moment diagrams for structural analysis.

Analyze shear force and bending moment diagrams for beams using equilibrium to determine reactions and moments. Apply step-by-step calculations to interpret supports and loads and moment values.

Master truss fundamentals, including plane and space trusses, stability, and determinacy of axial forces in compression and tension. Apply the method of joints and the method of sections for analysis.
