2 Selected manual techniques are used to analyze both statically determinate and indeterminate structures of various forms, including beams, trusses and frames. Fundamental principles of the computer based stiffness method of Analysis are developed and applied to 2D trusses and frames. An emphasis is placed on the application of basic analytical techniques, supplemented by the use of computer based verifications.

Failure to attend or to submit any of the labs will result in a final grade of less than 50% for the course unless alternate arrangements are specifically approved by the instructor.

7 Exams: Midterm Exam: Wednesday, October 24, 7:00 9:00 Location: TBA Examination Policies: You must receive a grade of 50% or higher in at least one of the midterm or final exams in order to achieve a passing grade in this course. All exams will be closed book exams. No texts, notes or review sheets will be permitted. A formula sheet will be provided with the exam. The use of electronic devices, including calculators, with document storage and/or communication capabilities is prohibited during exams. Alternate times to write midterm examinations will not be considered except in the case of illness or a conflict with other university related activities.

8 Alternate times to write final examinations cannot be accommodated. If a student misses a final exam, application must be made to the Engineering Student Centre to write a deferred exam. Students planning on registering with the office for Disability Services for Students (DSS) must do so in accordance with DSS procedures and deadlines.
