Lectures and Notes
The Lectures are on Zoom
You will need Adobe Reader to view the Class Notes files. The Notes files can be viewed by left-clicking on them or by downloading them to your computer by right-clicking and then “Save Target As.”
Note that the web links below may be pre-listed, but will not be hot until after class when we generate the notes and videos and I can get them posted. If I get behind, and you are ready to use them, please email me at Lowery@tamu.edu to remind me.
This year’s notes are available below. The videos to go with the notes are available on Zoom, as listed below.

| Class 6 |
Lecture 6 – Notes Tuesday 9/8/2020 Fundamentals of Engineering Reference Manual – summary of degree of structural indeterninancy as well as code combinations of loads you are required to study when designing a structure. Starts at 27 minutes, Load Factors, Equations for use of degrees of indeterminacy, Page 224 text start of deflections of structures, Direct integration and singularity functions (you did that in 305), energy methods CVEN 345, us.

|||
| Class 7 | Lecture 7 – Notes Thursday 9/10/2020 Lecture starts 23 minutes into the video. Take real structure and see how many reactions it has and how many of them are redundant. Turn real structure into a primary structure by removing the redundant reactions. Solve for deflections at redundant reaction points using energy methods (unit load method). Access Password: UF56Vv^d

| Class 8 |
Lecture 8 – Notes Tuesday 9/15/2020 Lecture starts 11 minutes into the video. Full example of taking a statically indetermnate truss and solving for everything necessary to get the redundant reactions. Also, determining the energy stored in beams and frames for soution of their redundant reactions. Access Password: xYn82+mD |

| Class 9 |
Lecture 9 – Notes Thursday 9/17/2020 Lecture starts 16:15 into the video. Short review if how to recognize a truss is statically indeterminate, how to turn it into a primary statically determinate truss for analysis by flexibility methods. Complete previous work on the same truss to solve for deflection of primary structure at point of removed redundant reaction. Solve for redundant reaction on truss. Next, solve for the redundant reaction on a one-degree statically indeterminate beam. Zoom locked up on us then but fortunately kept recording so we kept discussing the solution. We will start here next lecture. Access Password: 05x^iMeL |
