Finite element method is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. State THREE (3) advantages of Finite Element Method application in Civil Engineering. (B marks) List the basic steps that should to be taken into consideration for application of Finite Elements Method. (4 marks) In finite element method, the choice of elements is depends on the physical makeup of the body under actual loading conditions and on how close to actual behavior the analyst wants the result to be. Identify and briefly explain FOUR (4) common types of finite ‘elements. Aid your answer with sketches.
