The Structural Behaviour Course

A roadmap for understanding structural behaviour, without a computer

The Structural Behaviour Course

After completing this course...

You will be able to quickly sketch shear force, bending moment, axial force and deflected shape diagrams for 2D beam and frame structures.
You will develop a variety of tools, beyond static equilibrium, for analysing and approximating indeterminate structures, including compatibility, symmetry and fictitious hinges.
You will understand the links between loading, shear, moment and deflected shape diagrams, which allow you to use each one to predict the next.
You will understand determinacy and stability, the limits of our analysis techniques and how hinge releases influence this.
