CE 453 - Matrix Structural Analysis

Institution:

Saint Martin's University

Subject:

Description:

Development and application of matrix methods as the basis for modern, computer-based structural analysis. Topics covered include matrix algebra, basic concepts of the force and flexibility methods, member and structure stiffness matrices, the gaussian elimination algorithm, and exercises in solving indeterminate trusses, beams and frames. Senior civil engineering students learn to extend classical structural analysis to the advanced analytical techniques used in professional practice. Students are introduced to commercial software currently used by structural engineers. Prerequisite: CE 350.
