Deals with advanced techniques for the analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures, including energy-based methods, moment distribution method with joint translation, influence lines, non-prismatic members. Computer analysis based on the stiffness formulation is presented for space frames. Finite element analysis is introduced for plate-like elements loaded in their own plane. Emphasis is placed on basic analytical techniques, followed by computer verification. Prerequisite(s): CE 317.3 and CE 318.3. Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): CE 418.3 or CE 470.3
