    Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering


    CVEEN 3210 Structural Loads and Analysis
    Fall 2012

    Instructor:
    Luis Ibarra, [email protected] (801) 585-9307
    Office hours:
    Tuesday 2:00 PM 4:00 PM, and Wed: 10:30 AM 12:00 AM (Rm 2024, Bldg. 2000 MCE).
    Teaching Assistant:
    Sharad Dangol, [email protected]
    Office hours: Monday 10:30 AM 12:00 PM and Thursday 1:00 PM 3:00 PM (Kiewit Room
    1135, Bldg. MCE).
    Course Objectives:
    The goal of structural analysis is to determine the effects of external loads on structures. At the
    end of the course, you should be able to:
    - Understand the fundamentals of structural loads.
    - Calculate deflections of beams and trusses.
    - Compute axial, shear, and moment forces on members of statically indeterminate
    structures.
    - Use structural analysis software to analyze structural systems.
    Prerequisites:
    CVEEN 2140 (Strength of Materials) and MATH 2210 (Calculus III)
    Textbook:
    Hibbeler R.C. "Structural Analysis," 8th Edition. Editorial prentice Hall
    Recommended material:
    ASCE 7-10. Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, American Society of
    Civil Engineers ISBN: 9780784410851. You can obtain it from Chi Epsilon at a discounted
    student rate ($85). Please contact Profr. Chambers: [email protected].
    Leet, K.M., and Uang, C.M. Fundamentals of Structural Analysis. Ed. McGraw Hill.
    Exams
    First Midterm (Design loads and statically determinate structures): September 26th from
    7:30 to 8:20 am.
    Second Midterm (Statically determinate structural analysis and deformations):
    Wednesday November 7th from 7:30 to 8:20 am.
    Final exam (comprehensive with emphasis on statically indeterminate structures): Friday
    December 14th from 8:00 to 10:00 am

    Only one quiz during the semester but its this Wednesday . To pass the course, you are
    required to (a) obtain more than 70 on the quiz, or (b) solve the optional exercises listed in
    HW1 and get more than 80 on this section of the HW.
    Review Sessions
    Two review sessions on statics and strength of materials will be offered by instructor or TA on:
    - Friday August 24th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm (Layton Auditorium)
    - Friday September 28th from 7:30 to 8:20 am (instead of regular class)
    Two different tutorials on SAP2000 will be offered:
    - Early September (TBD)
    - Monday September 24th from 7:30 to 8:20 am (instead of regular class)
    Lectures
    For most lectures, handouts with blanks will be uploaded in Canvas before the topic is covered
    in the classroom.
    Suggestion: Use a binder to place the material distributed during the semester
    Homework
    Homework will be assigned on weekly basis. HW is due at the start of the class of the due date
    (usually a week after it is assigned). Late HW will be graded for 80% credit. HWs cannot be
    submitted one week after the deadline.
    Solutions will be distributed when the homework assignments are returned to the students.
    In some HWs, you may form teams of two students.
    For problems requiring a computer program you can use SAP2000, STAAD, RAM, or any
    program you are familiar with. If you use SAP2000 you can help from the instructor and TA.
    This is a QI course and HWs are very important.
    Canvas
    Handouts, homework, and class electronic communication will be done in Canvas.
    HOs with blanks will be uploaded in Canvas before the topic has been covered in the classroom.
    Always use your universitys email to contact the instructor and TAs.
