Determinate Structures: Beams and Frames

Course details

The course is all about determinate beams and frames and how to solve determinate structures.

Part I of the course is basics.. what are equilibrium equations and how we can use them to solve determinate structures. Then is concept of determinacy and stability.. how we can classify the structures as stable or unstable and/or determinate or indeterminate and how we find degree of indeterminacy.

Part II is practice of part I.. A number of sample beams and frames are classified as determinate or indeterminate (with degree of indeterminacy) and stable or unstable.. then some problems with their solutions.

Part III is practice of solving determinate beams and frames i.e. calculation of support reactions and then are some problems with solution.
