Week 1 Overview (January 18-20)

Apply skills from CIVL 2131 for the analysis of statically determinant structures.

By the end of Week 1, students should be able to:
• Calculate support reaction for statically determinant structures.
• Calculate determinacy and stability of 2D beams and frames

Instructions:

1. Read Chapters 1 and 2 in the textbook
2. Review the classroom presentations:
   1. What is CIVL 3121? (slides)
   2. Introduction to structural analysis (slides)
   3. Introduction to the analysis of determinate structures (slides)
   4. MemFix4 video
   5. I-40 Bridge repair video
      
3. Download the Example Problems Chapter 2a and work on the problems
4. After you have attempted Example Problems 2a, we will work them in class
