Civil Engineering - Structural Analysis

Structural Analysis is a fundamental Civil Engineering discipline that focuses on


determining forces, stresses, and deformations in structures under loads.

1. Structural Components
- Beams (bending and shear behavior)

- Trusses (assumption of pin joints)

- Frames and arches

- Continuous vs determinate structures

2. Types of Loads
- Dead loads (self-weight of structures)

- Live loads (occupancy, moving loads)

- Wind, snow, and earthquake loads

- Load combinations and safety factors

3. Methods of Structural Analysis


- Equilibrium equations (ΣF=0, ΣM=0)

- Method of Joints and Method of Sections (trusses)

- Moment-area method for beams

- Slope-deflection and moment distribution method

4. Modern Applications
- Finite Element Method (FEM) for complex structures

- Earthquake-resistant design principles

- Use of advanced materials (composites, high-strength concrete)

- Sustainable design in civil engineering
