Moment Distribution Method - Civil Engineering Example Pack

"This course is the ideal bolt-on to my main course on analysing civil engineering indeterminate structures, 'Indeterminate Structures & The Moment Distribution Method'. The best way to sharpen the skills developed in that course is through practice - that's where this bolt-on course comes in! The key to embedding any new structural analysis technique is implementing your solution strategies on unfamiliar structures. One of the most frequent requests I receive from my civil engineering students is for more worked examples.  In this course - we'll put the skills you've already learned into practice on 5 challenge questions. The questions are designed to sharpen your understanding of the moment distribution method. The focus is on 2-dimensional structural frames. We'll cover both sway and non-sway frames - the emphasis is on analysing structures you're likely to come across as a civil or structural engineer. While I won't delve too deep into the derivation of solution methodologies (to avoid repetition), I will still explain the logic behind each step taken in the solution process. If you've come across these analysis techniques during your studies - this course would be a sensible addition to your reference library.The course is developed around the concept of problem based learning. To get the most out of the course you should attempt a question and iterate on your solution until you converge on the correct one. This way you learn by working your way through each problem - hence the name problem based learning. Only at the end should you watch the accompanying video to check the reasoning behind your solution.Completing this Moment Distribution Method Example Pack is a great way to wrap up your study of indeterminate structures, leaving you well placed to analyse the types of structures seen in everyday life as a civil or structural engineer. "
