Week 3 Overview (September 8-10)

Apply skills from CIVL 3121 for the analysis of statically indeterminate structures.

By the end of Week 3, students should be able to:
• Select an appropriate statically indeterminate redundant force/moment in a frame.
• Calculate support reaction for statically indeterminate frames.

Instructions:
