Geometric stability and determinacy, analysis of determinate trusses, beams, plane frames and arches; reaction computation; axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams. Internal force releases. Load-shear-moment relationships. Differential equation of elastic curve. Deflections by integration, moment-area, conjugate-beam and virtual work methods. Influence lines of determinate structures. Prerequisite: CT 153
