Course Description

Structural Mechanics MOOC course forms the basic foundation knowledge for all structural and mechanic design of structural elements. This course is designed for the benefit of engineering, building or construction students desirous in excelling in their examination and professions. The contents are presented in a graded manner, 'known to unknown', 'easy to difficult' and 'simple to complex', for easier knowledge comprehended. The variety of solved and unsolved practice exercises make the course material learner-friendly, so as to facilitate independent learning.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Demonstrate good ethics in basic design analysis for simple building structure
2 ) Evaluate structural principal for stress and strain, shear force and bending moment (diagram), centre of gravity and properties of section
3 ) Compute stress and strain relationship of building materials, principals of moment (diagram) centre of gravity, properties of section and principal of parallel axis
