The unit provides the basis for assessing the stress state of most engineering components, artefacts and structures - beams, deep beams, shear walls, and foundations under loads. The unit is also a primer for understanding how the critical strength of a structure or component can be assessed using modern day theoretical, experimental and numerical methods of stress analysis. After completing this unit, students should be able to determine the stress, strain and displacement in a beam and plate subjected to load using either an experimental, theoretical or numerical method. The unit includes linear algebra and numerical methods relevant to civil engineering. -- Course Website
