Summary
Recent recorded grades — Fall 2021: 3.60 GPA, 80.0% A/AB (n=5 letter grades); Fall 2022: 3.25 GPA, 50.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades); Fall 2023: 3.12 GPA, 37.5% A/AB (n=8 letter grades).
What you’ll be able to do
Model a structure, including boundary conditions and loading, for analysis using the stiffness method
Solve for unknown joint displacements, reactions, and member actions using the stiffness method
Use energy concepts for the determination of deflections, member stiffness/flexibility matrices, and equivalent joint loads
Account for material and geometric nonlinearities in the analysis of simple two-dimensional frame structures
