Please log into the webinar 15 – 30 minutes before start time.

Friday, October 29, 2021
1:30 – 6:00 pm CDT (incl. two 15-min breaks)

Presented by
Avinash Prasad

Agenda:
• Define different types of structures?
• What are “fracture critical” and “fatigue prone” details in a structure
and what are their significance?
• Why do structures fail during their service life?
• Discussion of different methods of structural analysis
• Illustrative pictures of failures of different types of structures and discussion
• Illustrative videos of failures of different types of structures and discussion
• Discussion of various topics, such as basic structural analysis of beam, column,
truss, frames etc. and their combinations
• The analysis includes loading, shear force, bending moment, slope and deflection diagrams
along with discussion regarding behavior of structure under static and dynamic loading
• Selection of appropriate structural analysis methods to avoid failures of structures
with real life examples
• Why is it imperative to do at least 5 to 10 percent of the analysis and design work manually
to verify the mechanized computer work?
• Innovative methods to quickly analyze a complex structure to avoid blunders
in structural analysis with real life examples
• Discussion of scope of future research of structural analysis of structures
for further advancement
