Description

AS3101 Structures 1- Forces and Vectors
Beginning with a broad understanding of the ways in which materials work at the molecular level- this course introduces students to principles governing structure such as force and unit stress-equilibrium and span-stiffness-and the reasons materials change shape when subjected to loads. Through a number of assignments which include exercises in shear and bending moment diagrams and the calculation of equilibrium and internal forces in trusses, students are provided with a practical basis for understanding structures and their behavior
