This comprehensive guide to structural analysis provides a concise overview of key concepts and formulas. The app, a free handbook, covers 110 topics across five chapters, making it an invaluable resource for engineering students and professionals.
Its design prioritizes quick learning and efficient revision, ideal for exam preparation and interviews. The app includes detailed notes, diagrams, equations, and formulas, covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
-
Plastic Analysis & Stiffness Matrices: Development of plastic analysis, interpretation of stiffness matrices, and the calculation of truss element stiffness matrices are thoroughly explained.
-
Mohr's Theorems & Structural Applications: Both Mohr's First and Second Theorems are detailed, along with their applications in determinate and indeterminate structures, including deflection calculations and locating maximum deflection.
-
Continuous Beam Analysis: The app covers the analysis of continuous beams, incorporating moments due to reactions and considering pressure lines due to prestressing forces.
-
Methods of Analysis: Several methods are explained, including the method of consistent deformation, slope-deflection equations, and the moment distribution method, with detailed steps and examples. This includes computation of fixed-end moments and understanding distribution factors.
-
Advanced Topics: The app also delves into advanced topics such as strain energy calculations, analysis of two-hinged arches (including symmetrical arches and temperature effects), influence line diagrams, and the intricacies of suspension bridge design (including wind-resistant design, cable section design, fabrication and erection technologies, and finite element modeling). The app also addresses the moment-shear interaction of longitudinally stiffened girders and Eurocode design provisions.
