Course description and aims

On statically indeterminate structures, this course introduces their fundamental characteristics and several methods to analyze them.
This course aims to have students understand mechanical characteristics of high order statically indeterminate structures which takes a major part of building structural system.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will
1) have an understanding of the nature of statically indeterminate structures,
2) be able to use the analyzing methods introduced to solve problems.

Keywords

Statically indeterminate structure, slope deflection method, moment distribution method, direct stiffness method, approximate method using D-value

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

A lecture is given for the first 90 minutes, followed by exercises for 45 minutes. Blackboard is mainly used and handouts are provided as needed.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
