CIVL1100Fundamentals of Engineering Mechanics

Course handbook

Description

This course introduces some basic principles of engineering mechanics in as simple a manner as possible. Emphasis is placed upon students gaining a real understanding of the laws and principles of mechanics. This course provides essential foundation knowledge for all disciplines of engineering and surveying and will be assumed knowledge in many of the courses taken in later years of undergraduate programs.

Replacing course(s)

This course replaces the following course(s): GENG1001. Students who have successfully completed GENG1001 are not eligible to enrol in CIVL1100.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of the course students will be able to:

1. Apply the laws and principles of mechanics to a basic level

2. Formulate, analyse and solve simple problems in mechanics

3. Recognise the assumptions and limitations of the approaches used

Content

• Basic assumptions of theory of structures: ideal materials, small deflections
• Equilibrium, redundancy, stability
• Stress, strain, extension of bars
• Compatibility
• Bending Moment and Shear Force diagrams for simple beams
• Properties of areas
• Stresses due to bending: normal and shear
• Combined stresses
• Column buckling
• Hydrostatics
