Syllabus Theory of Structure

This document provides a course syllabus for Theory of Structures (CIEN 20033), a 3-credit unit course offered in the 2nd semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The course covers determining shear forces, bending moments, and beam deflections for statically determinate and indeterminate beams. Students will learn to draw shear and moment diagrams, use the Three-Moment Equation and Moment Distribution Method to analyze continuous beams. Course requirements include problem-solving exercises, assignments, and group work. The textbook is Structural Analysis by Besavilla. Students must attend classes, participate in groups, and adhere to the academic honesty policy prohibiting cheating.

Prerequisites:

Co-requisites:

II. Course Description: The course is about the determination of values of shear, moments and
deflections of statically determinate & indeterminate beams.

III. Relationship of Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) to Program Outcomes (PO)

Course Learning Outcomes Program Outcome (PO)


At the end of the course , the student must be familiar a b c d e f g h i j k l m
with:

1. Determine the values of reaction at the supports ,


values of shearing force and bending moments of
statically determinate beams.

2. Be introduced to the determination of values of


reaction at the supports, values of shearing force and
bending moments of statically indeterminate beams
(continuous beams and restrained beams) using the
Three-Moment Equation and the Moment Distribution
Method

3. Draw shear and moment diagram


4. Be introduced to the methods of determining the
deflections of beams

V. Course Requirements:

Class standing requirements (problem solving exercise, seatwork’s, assignment and oral
presentations, group participation and evaluation) – Problem solving exercises are scheduled.
Seatwork’s are unannounced and are usually given at the start or near the end of the lecture period.
Problem set assignment are to solved through team effort to maximize peer tutoring and cooperative
learning. Outputs are collected at the beginning of the next class session. Students will be required to do
oral presentation of assignment solutions or any special topics. Individual contribution to group work
will be rated by the instructor and by the co-group members.

VII. Class Policies

Attendance:

Attendance sheets will be passed around and the student is responsible to sign to prove
his presence for that session. This is to monitor whether absences incurred by the student is still within
the allowed number of absences for a course stipulated in the Student Handbook. The only valid excuses
for missing exam are illness requiring medical care or personality/family emergency of a serious nature.
For such, valid medical certificate and parent’s/guardian letter will be required and subjected to
verification.

Cooperative Learning:

The goal is to have everyone learn more than they would have working alone. Nevertheless,
individual work provides the foundation for productive and synergistic group work. Teams will be
formed, with three or four students per team. These will be used in two ways. First in class discussion
and reporting on assignment will be by group (whenever possible). Second problem set assignment will
be group activities but the submission of assignment outputs will be done individually. Presentation of
output will be done on a rotation bases all student will evaluate themselves and their fellow group
members with respect contributions to group function at least twice during the semester. This
evaluation will contribute to the class standing portion of the course grade and will be used primarily in
deciding borderline grades.

Academic Honesty Policy:

It is a part of your education to learn responsibility and self-discipline, particularly with regards
to academic honesty. The most important issue of academic honesty is cheating. Cheating is defined to
include an attempt to defraud, deceive or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honest graded
assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one’s own work the ideas or
work of another.

All portions of any test, project or finals exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own,
unless you are instructed to work collaboratively. Specific requirement will be described for
collaborative projects, but all work presented must be work of members of that group. Research
materials used must be properly cited. Cheating in a major course examination by a student will entail a
failing mark of F for the given course. Cheating, dishonesty or plagiarism in paper and other works will
entail zero (0) score for the said requirement.
