What we have learnt
- Structural analysis involves understanding forces and their effects on structures.
- Equilibrium conditions are crucial for assessing forces in static systems.
- Material properties play a significant role in the behavior of structures under load.
Key Concepts
- -- Equilibrium
- A state where the net forces and moments acting on a structure are zero.
- -- Load
- The external forces or weights acting on a structure, which can include dead loads and live loads.
- -- Beam
- A structural element that spans and supports loads perpendicular to its length.
- -- Static analysis
- The process of analyzing structures under static loads to determine internal forces and reactions.
