Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Understand the concepts of force and moment equilibrium and recognise the difference between statically determinate & statically indeterminate structures.
2. Analyse simple structural systems to determine internal axial forces, shear forces, torques and bending moments as appropriate.
3. Determine beam deflections due to externally applied loading.
4. Quantify stresses, due to axial forces, shear forces, torques and bending moments on various cross-sections.
