CVEN-6525 (3) Nonlinear Analysis of Framed Structures

Explores theoretical underpinnings of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of framed structures, along with exposure to the corresponding programming techniques in Matlab. Topics covered are: flexibility and fiber based beam-column element formulation; structural,section and fiber plasticity; geometric and material nonlinearities; nonlinear pushover and transient analysis of framed structures. Department enforced prereq., CVEN 5525. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
