GOALS CE 382 teaches civil engineering students some of the basics for analyzing statically determinate and indeterminate systems, and introduces them to the behavior of structures. Furthermore, this course provides the structural analysis base used for both the Fundamentals in Engineering (FE/EIT) and Principles in Practice (PP/PE) examinations. SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES Objective 1. Solve two-dimensional, statically determinate structures. 1. Calculate support reactions for structures that include equations of condition. 2. Calculate bar forces in statically determinate trusses. 3. Quantify the shear and bending moment variation along the segments of a structure. 4. Calculate displacements for planar truss, beam, and frame structures. 5. Construct influence line diagrams for statically determinate structures and locate live loads (uniform and point force(s)) to maximize the response function. Objective 2. Understand the importance of statically indeterminate structures and perform structural calculations for two-dimensional statically indeterminate structures. 1. Draw qualitative influence line diagrams and determine critical uniform live load placement. 2. Analyze continuous beam structures using equilibrium based approximate analysis. 3. Analyze truss structures with double diagonals using equilibrium based approximate analysis. 4. Analyze statically indeterminate truss and beam structures using the force method of analysis. 5. Calculate limit loads for continuous beam structures using plastic analysis. In addition, you will continue to develop small group skills through team homework assignments and class interaction. Both written and oral communication skills are highly valued by the profession. TEAMS Each student must join a team of two student members. Each team is to collaborate and work together on all problem-solving homework assignments; written homework assignments, if assigned, are to be completed individually. The team concept will provide students with an opportunity to develop small group interaction skills, mimic the working profession, and should enhance student learning. The instructor will provide you with the team member list.

ENGINEERING ETHICS2 Each student must subscribe to a professional code of ethics that is the basis for their behavior in class. All exam work, including but not limited to formulation of ideas and methods of approach, must be the work of the student taking the exam. Violation of these principles will result in either a zero on the affected effort, a failing grade in the course, or suspension from the University.

VI.

HOMEWORK POLICY Homework is assigned throughout the term of the course semester, see page 7 for specific due dates and assignment categories. Most homework assignments are team based. Each member of the team will submit the completed homework assignment and the team will bundle the completed homework assignments with a paperclip. NOTE: Only one copy of any computer output is required for each team. The teaching assistant will first verify that each team member has submitted a solution for each problem. Solutions that are not submitted or are incomplete will be graded as an n (n = 0 points) for the individual team member. Then, the teaching assistant will choose one solution to grade for each assigned problem and each member of the team who completed the problem will receive that grade. Submit homework at the start of class on the assignment date. Late homework is not acceptable except for unusual circumstances, i.e., an excused absence. Homework grading uses a letter grade system. The letter grade system is: a = 4 out of 4 points: correct procedure and calculations b = 3 out of 4 points: correct procedure with some minor calculation errors c = 2 out of 4 points: partially correct procedure and calculations n = 0 out of 4 points: insufficient knowledge or not submitted + = additional point, e. g., b+ = 3.5 out of 4 points Students are encouraged to contact the teaching assistant with questions related to homework either via cell phone or e-mail (see page 1 for contact information). The teaching assistant will have office hours on Monday from 5:30 7:00 PM EDT and Wednesday from 8:30 10:00 PM EDT. Appointments outside these scheduled times are also available. The instructor is also available to answer homework questions over the telephone, through email, or in his office (see page 1 for contact information). The teaching assistant is responsible for assigning homework grades.

IX.

TERM EXAMS Course evaluation includes three term exams. Term exams 1 and 2 are 1.5 hours, 5:30 7:00 PM EDT and are scheduled for Thursday, May 31 and Thursday, June 7, respectively. Exam 3 is Tuesday, June 19 from 5:30PM 7:30PM. Topics for each exam are marked on the course syllabus (page 6 of this handout). The course instructor is responsible for grading all exams. Appeal your evaluations directly with him. Also, if you have questions, do not hesitate to contact the course instructor. Email is probably the best method of contact (see page 1).

1. This class requires an average of 15 20 hours per week of work outside of class and more at the end of the course. 2. Students are to behave in a professional manner during class. 3. Material covered in class is the basis for all homework and each exam. 4. Class attendance is required. Each student has two bonus points to begin the course. For each unexcused absence, the instructor will delete two points from your total grade. If you have an excused absence (see item XIII below), inform the instructor in writing prior to the absence. In the case of an illness, a telephone call is required before class or a signed doctors note for the day of the absence. In an emergency, contact the instructor as soon as possible. 5. Exams 1 & 2 are closed book and closed notes. 6. Exam 3 will also be closed book and closed notes. However, bring two handwritten sheets of summary notes with you to the exam since it covers all the statically indeterminate course material. It is the instructors policy not to return exam 3. The instructor provides some basic information. See web site document Exam 3 Supplements. 7. The last day to withdraw from this course is Friday, June 1 but I will have to arrange the withdrawal. WKU/UK students follow the WKU calendar. If you need assistance, please let me know. XII. EXCUSED ABSENCES

The University of Kentucky defines the following as excused absences: 1. Illness of the student or serious illness of an immediate family member. The instructor has the right to request appropriate verification. 2. The death of a member of the student's immediate family. The instructor has the right to request appropriate verification. 3. Trips for members of student organizations sponsored by an academic unit, trips for University classes, and trips for participation in intercollegiate athletic events. When feasible, the student must notify the instructor prior to such absences. In no case shall such
CE 382 Structural Analysis Course Syllabus: Page 4 of 7

notification occur more than one week after the absence. Instructors may request formal notification from appropriate university personnel to document the student's participation in such trips. 4. Major Religious Holidays. Students are responsible for notifying the instructor in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays no later than the last day for adding a class. Students missing work due to an excused absence bear the responsibility of informing the instructor about their excused absence. You must provide notification within one week following the period of the excused absence, except where prior notification is required. Students must also make up any missed work. The instructor shall give the student an opportunity to make up the work missed during the term in which the absence occurred, if feasible. Students are given the opportunity to make up examinations missed due to an excused absence during the term in which the absence occurred, if feasible. Excessive excused absences, or timing, may prevent a student from satisfactorily completing work for a course. If this is the case, the instructor shall counsel the student about the options of an I-grade or withdrawal from the course for that term, I = Incomplete. XIV. CLASSROOM AND LEARNING ACCOMMODATIONS UK students requiring such accommodation should provide documentation of the need prior to the first week of class. The Disability Resource Center certifies the need for and specifies the particular type of such accommodations on a student-by-student basis. (Contact: Alumni Gym Room 2, 859-257-2754 Voice and TTD). Students at WKU should follow the WKU procedure in this regard. XV. TECHNICAL SUPPORT If students have trouble with delivery of the course material in the classroom, contact the ITV support personnel at the location or inform the instructor.
