COURSE DESCR#P#O!: Matrix Theory of Structures is a continuation of the structural analysis
series of the BSCE curriculum. This course focuses on the matrix analysis of statically determinate
and indeterminate trusses, beams and frames for internal forces and displacements using the irect
Stiffness Method, !hich is the method used in most computer programs. The application of the
method to plane grids, space trusses and space frames !ill be also presented. Special topics on
modeling of supports, hinges and substructures !ill be discussed.

The problem set consists of analysis of #arious structures using the direct matrix stiffness
method using manual techni*ues and computer tools. The soft!are, 3&(S2 or S(2-555 !ill
also be used for comparison !ith the manual solutions. Some problems must be completed
indi#idually and other problems must be completed by a group. ( problem set usually has three
