Study Notes
Civil Engineering
- A structure in civil engineering refers to a system of interconnected members used to support loads.
Structural Design
- During the preliminary structural design stage, the axial load, bending moment, and shear force are estimated.
Structural Analysis
- Structural analysis establishes the internal forces and stresses in the structure.
Determining Member Size
- The purpose of determining the size of interconnected members in structural design is to ensure the structure can withstand the estimated loads.
Prediction of Structural Analysis
- The prediction of structural analysis is based on the estimated loads, material properties, and structural geometry.
