Learning Objectives (LO):

On completion of this subject, the student should be able to:

LO1. To develop an understanding of the distribution of internal forces within determinate trusses
and Frames. A high level of proficiency in analysing determinate structures is to be attained.
LO2. To foster the development of a thorough knowledge of the performance of structural
engineering materials in response to stress and strain;
