A. TITLE: TECHNICAL STATICS
B. COURSE NUMBER: CONS 172
C. CREDIT HOURS: 3
D. WRITING INTENSIVE COURSE : NO
E. COURSE LENGTH: 15 WEEKS
F. SEMESTER(S) OFFERED: Spring G. HOURS OF LECTURE, LABORATORY, RECITATION, TUTORIAL, ACTIVITY: 2 – one hour lectures and 1 – 2 hour recitation per week H. CATALOG DESCRIPTION: This course provides application of Newton’s First and Third Laws of motion in the force analysis of statically determinate structures such as pinned connections, trusses, beams, frames, and cables. The determination of centroids and moment of inertia is also covered. The course requires extensive application of geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and fundamentals that are used in structural mechanics/strength of materials. I. PRE-REQUISITES: MATH 121 (College Algebra), PHYS 121 (College Physics I) J. GOALS (STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES): By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
- Determine the rectangular components of a force vector given its angle (or slope) and magnitude.
- Solve for the resultant of a system of concurrent forces graphically and analytically.
- Calculate the total moment about a point created by a system of coplanar forces acting on a rigid body.
- Draw and label free body diagrams clearly and accurately.
- Apply the equations of equilibrium to determine the unknowns in a system of concurrent forces.
- Apply the equations of equilibrium in determining the reactions at the supports of statically determinate, two-dimensional structures such as beams, trusses and frames.
- Analyze the member forces in a truss using the method of joints.
- Analyze the member forces in a truss using the method of sections.
- Determine the forces in the members of a rigid structural frame.
- Determine the Centroid of composite sections and built up sections
- Calculate the Moment of Inertia of composite sections and built-up sections. K. TEXTS: Cheng, F. (1997). Statics and strength of materials. Glencoe & McGraw Hill Publishing. or Onouye, B. (2004). Statics and strength of materials. Pearson Publishing.
