Course Code: CE 311 Course Title: Structural Theory (Lecture)
No. of Units: 3 units Prerequisite/Co-requisite: CE 221-Mechanics of Deformable Total No. of Hours: 3 hrs.
Bodies
Course Description: A professional course common to all civil engineering students designed to provide fundamental concepts, principles, and theories in the theory of
structures and structural analysis for internal actions in a structure and its deformation under load.
Course Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the student must be able to:
1. Identify and classify various types of planar and spatial; structural system and the manner by which these are supported for stability;
2. Determine the state of static and kinematic determinacy and stability of structural systems, externally and internally;
3. Apply the methods of structural analysis for external and internal actions on various types of structural systems due to static and moving loads;
4. Development intuition on deflected shapes of structures under loading.
