This course is intended for civil engineering students. After completing this course, they will have knowledge about the basic mechanism of solid substances. The students would be able to solve the problems regarding stress transformations and combined stresses. The students will also learn about fundamentals o design of slender columns. However, the major outcome of this course is learning and determining the deflection of beams using four different methods which would be very helpful in real life scenario. Reference Books: 1.
