The course presents elementary analysis of deformable solids subjected to force systems; concepts of stress and strain; one, two and three-dimensional stress-strain relationships for the linear elastic solid; statically determinate and indeterminate axial force, torsion and bending members; stress transformations, pressure vessels, combined loadings; and an introduction to column buckling.

4. PedagogyLearningProcess Civil Engineering courses will be taught using a variety of pedagogical models. These will include theoryled teaching, casemethod education and projectbased/teambased teaching. Teaching based on exposition of theory will be applied to engineering and constructionscience.Learningthefundamentalsinmathandphysics,staticsanddynamics, mechanics of materials, hydrology and surveying, transportation, and concrete and structuralsteeldesigneffectivelywillbeprerequisitestothedevelopmentandapplication ofstructuralengineeringskills.

Excused Absences: No absences will be excused. All absences will be recorded as indicatedintheAttendancePolicy.Hence,studentswillbeencouragedtosaveup absencesforunavoidablecircumstances. Tardiness: students will be considered tardy if they are not present before the classroomdoorisclosedbothatthebeginningoftheclassandfollowingthebreak. Tardiness will be counted as a half absence. Students will be requested not to interruptclassproceedingsbytryingtoenteroncetheclasshasbegun(asindicated bythecloseddoor). 8.
