Shear flow. Definition of shear centre, Saint Venant and warping torsional constants. Behaviour, governing differential equations and solutions for torsion, beam-columns, lateral torsional buckling of doubly symmetric beams, axially loaded doubly symmetric, singly symmetric and asymmetric columns. Failure criterion, fatigue and fracture. Precludes additional credit for MAAE 3202. Prerequisite(s): CIVE 2200.Lectures three hours a week, laboratory/problem analysis three hours alternate weeks.
