CE En 321 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Winter 1996

Class Meeting Schedule: MWF 9:00 - 9:50 a.m. 381 Clyde Building

Text: Hibbeler, R. C., "Structural Analysis," Prentice Hall, 1995.

Course Objective: The primary objective of this course is to learn fundamental techniques for analyzing civil structures, such as buildings and bridges.

Professor: Steven E. Benzley

Office Hours: 10:00 - 12:00 a.m. MWF 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. TTH

HOMEWORK:

1. Problems are due at 5:00 p.m. the subsequent class day. A twenty percent penalty will be assessed for problems turned in up to one class period late. Problems more than one class can be turned in for half credit, however they will not be graded.

2. All assigned problems are due; however, only one problem will be graded for credit. An accounting of the others will be made for the record.

3. Homework will accumulate at 10 points per selected problem.

4. Teaching assistants will be made available for several hours each day of the week to assist in problem solving. A schedule for available hours will be announced by the end of the first week of classes. Please take advantage of these capable helpers.

5. Problems will be graded not only for correctness, but for neatness and clarity. By neatness I mean that the writing should be legible and sketches clearly labeled. Clarity means that the person grading the problem can easily follow your steps.

Mid Term EXAMS

Mid term exams are open book, open note exams. They are to be picked up from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Office and take to a quiet location to work individually. The exams must be returned to the secretary within 3 hours.

FINAL EXAM

The final exam will be held in the regular classroom on Friday, April 19, from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. The exam will consist of about 50% comprehensive material and 50% on the stiffness method.

* Problem sets 32-36 are to be done using the "Visual Analysis" software. When available, turn in with each of these problem sets,the origonal problem as it was worked with a classical method (Moment area, Virtual work, Moment Distribution, etc). Compare the computer solution with your "hand" solution.
