Catalog Description:

• EOC 4412: Structural Analysis II.
  Study of matrix mathematics structural analysis techniques; basic steel design and analysis concepts; and basic concrete design and analysis concepts.

Pre-requisites:

• EOC 3150: Strength of Materials.
• EOC 3410: Structural Analysis I.

Textbooks (required):

1. Structural Analysis, 4th edition 1999, by R. C. Hibbeler.
2. LRFD Steel Design, 2nd Edition 1999, by William T. Segui.
3. Design of Reinforced Concrete, 5th Edition 2001, by Jack C. McCormac.

Coordinator:

• H. Kreh, Visiting Professor.

Goals/Objectives:

• To introduce students to matrix methods of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames subject to static loads. In addition the students are introduced to concrete and steel design and analysis. The students should show a firm grasp of the basics of matrix methods of structural analysis to provide them with an understanding of the processes and theory behind the structural analysis computer software used in structural design practices today. They should also exhibit command of the basic principles of both concrete and steel design so that they may build upon these basics should they pursue a structurally-oriented career within or outside of the field of ocean engineering.

Course Topics:

1. Truss Analysis Using the Stiffness Method.
2. Beam Analysis Using the Stiffness Method.
3. Plane Frame Analysis Using the Stiffness Method.
4. Basic Steel Design Philosophy.
5. Steel Tension Members.
6. Steel Compression Members.
7. Steel Beams.
8. Steel Beam-Columns.
