Aim: The main part of analysis of structures is in practice based on the technical beam theory introduced in 59107 Basic Structural Analysis. The aim of the course is to bring the student in a position to
a) calculate section forces and deformations in statically indeterminate beam and frame structures.
b) analyse the stability of beam and frame structures.
c) formulate and use computer methods based on the Finite Element Method (FEM).
d) evaluate the applicability of the technical beam theory in relation to specific structures.
e) determine the ultimate load capacity of beam and frame structures of elastic-plastic materials (e.g. steel and concrete). |
| Contents: Deformation method for elastic frames including the influence of normal force (column effect). Finite Element formulation of the deformation method suited for a computer implementation. Stability phenomena in elastic/elastic-plastic columns and frames including the influence of geometric imperfections on the maximum load. Upper- and lowerbound methods for analysis of elastic-plastic frames (yield mechanisms and statically admissible stress distribution). Beams on an elastic foundation including stability. Introduction to Vlasov's beam theory (thinwalled beams). Influence of flexible joints. |
