Course Description
The Strength of Materials course covers the fundamental characteristics and behaviours of different building and structural materials, the structural system of buildings and various structural calculations. This class is organised into various modules which systematically cover topics, such as: units, definitions, the stress-strain relation, normal stresses and shear stresses, Hook's Law, proof stresses and working stress. Students will also learn about statically indeterminate structures, thermal stresses, bending stresses in simple and composite beams, compound stresses and receive an introduction to reinforced concrete, deflection of beams, buckling of columns, conditions limits for long columns and learn about Ranckine's Formula.
