CEE220 - Structural Analysis

⚠️

Notice: Portfolio Section Incomplete

This section of the portfolio is not yet complete. More recent work from CEE220 needs to be uploaded and will be added soon.

Course Overview

Analysis of structural systems based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, covering trusses, beams, and frames under various loading conditions including thermal effects. The course emphasizes kinematic relationships, compatibility, and the flexibility method for statically determinate structures.

Fundamental Hypotheses

  • Plane sections remain plane under deformation (Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis) — shear distortion is neglected
  • Material linearity is preserved throughout all loading stages — stress is linearly proportional to strain
  • Small displacements allow linearized kinematics and equilibrium equations in the undeformed configuration
