Course Content
|
This course, briefly, consist of 1) introduction to matrix analysis of structures, 2) development of stiffness matrix methods for one and two dimensional structures, 3) application of tangent stiffness matrices for bars, plane trusses, beams, and plane frames, 4) Superposition of loads and elements, and 5) comparison of hand calculation with computer based software results for one or two dimensional structures.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.

Course Notes
|
· Food and beverages are not permitted in the class. · Cell phones must be turned off during class. · Please, bring the required course materials. · No request to increase grades.
· Be in the class on time (being late for class is an extreme annoyance to the entire class). · Attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to attend at least %70 of the classes · Class attendance is strongly recommended and will count toward your participation grade. Regular class time will include informal assessment activities for which points will be assigned. Participation in these activities will help you prepare for exams, quizzes and homework and also provide me with feedback on your progress. · For a detailed description of AGU attendance policy, please refer to the website at https://goo.gl/HbPM2y section 25. · When contacting the instructor, please use the Canvas email feature. Include in the subject line the class and section number. If this information is not included, your email may not be answered. Any announcements or warnings will be send to your AGU e-mail. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every student to read his/her AGU e-mails and CANVAS emails regularly. AGU webmail can be accessed through https://mail.agu.edu.tr · You are responsible for knowing the University policies on cheating and plagiarism. Not giving credit to a person for their intellectual work and passing it off as your own is stealing. For a detailed description of AGU policies, please refer to the website at https://goo.gl/FjLhzH
