Some examples are in the notes on these pages. If it is not here I don’t have it. Good luck!

Dear Sir,

Do you have any worked examples to prestressed concrete design based on BS 8110?

asimsos,
Have a look at the Structural Analysis 4 notes. Honestly, I’m not holding back on some “magic sentence” that will help students understand the material – whatever I can offer is in the notes. Reading notes from different authors on the same topic has always helped me, as well as hours and hours practicing problems.
Good luck,
Colin

Amad,
Thank you so much for your kind comments – they are very encouraging I hope you do well int eh rest of your course and go on to have a great career in engineering – there really is nothing like it!

Dr. Caprani.

I just want to say a big thank you to you on behalf of me and my course mates. Your notes are of the highest standard and I feel that every university in the world should use these to teach structures 3 & 4. If I ever get the honour of meeting you I would like to give you a big hug as these notes are the only reason why I will ever pass my structures module.

Thank you and Many Regards.

Bridge looks familiar! Pity about our construction team though!

I would like to thank you so much for sharing all this stuff and notes, especially on Structural Analysis. However, i would be grateful if you could assist me in the following: elastoplastic (non linear) SDOF system analysis in MS Excel, using Newmark’s linear acceleration numerical method. It could be extremely useful if you d post or mail to me a procedure in Excel for A.K.Chopra’s Dynamics of Structures, Example exercise 5.5, page 190. I cant find out how can i check whether the system is behaving elastically or plastically for each time step, so that we use ki=k or ki=0 and fsi=…… or fsi=fy respectively.

Sebastian,
a partial triangular ascending load is included in the c++ application, just use a negative value for the load length.
Kind Regards,
Pierrot
