Structural Analysis and Modelling Portal (SAMP): Structural Analysis and Design Skills

You can choose to work through any or all of the sessions, which include:

• truss analysis
• beam analysis and design
• 2D frame analysis under gravity loads
• 2D frame analysis under lateral loads
• linear time history analysis
• response spectra for earthquake ground motions
• modal analysis of a simple structure
• response spectrum analysis of a simple structure
• modal and response spectrum analysis of a complex structure
• non-linear time history analysis
• notes on FEM structural analysis and supporting materials for the UCL Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE)'s Integrated Design Project (IDP)

The sessions mainly focus on the use of Oasys GSA (General Structural Analysis) software.

However, other packages such as SeismoStruct, SeismoSignal or OpenSees are also included in some of the sessions.

Tutorial videos and other supporting materials have been prepared for each one of the sessions offered to enable your self-learning.
