[Course] CE491 [Title] ADV STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS [Crdts] 3 [Department] Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering [Scope] 
This course builds upon the material covered in CE403/453 to develop a better understanding of structural behavior. Matrix analysis methods, including an introduction to finite elements, are developed as the basis for modern, computer-based structural analysis. These and other advanced analytical techniques are used to analyze and design trusses, beams, and frames. Coursework involves extensive use of the computer as an analytical tool. Students use state-of-the-art structural engineering analysis and design software and Computer Aided Drafting software.
