Course Description

CEE 353 is the first course of a series in the field of Structural Analysis.  Concepts and procedures learned in this course are essential for the development of analytical skills required for determining and evaluating the response of elastic structures to applied loads.  

CEE 353 is a prerequisite to other advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in structural analysis.

Students completing this course should be able to:

• Identify the load-carrying mechanism of different structural systems (trusses, beams, frames, etc.)

• Establish structural determinacy and stability

• Determine reactions, member forces, and deformations of determinate structures subjected to external loads and/or temperature change

• Determine reactions and member forces of indeterminate structures

• Develop shear and bending moment diagrams for beams and frames

• Develop influence line diagrams and apply the concept of influence lines to determine the maximum response resulting from moving loads
