Structural mechanics is a prerequisite for civil engineering and hydraulic engineering majors that is taught in English. Through studying structural mechanics, mastering the basic concepts, principles, and methods of plane rod structural analysis and calculation, understanding the mechanical performance of various structures, and laying a solid foundation for required mechanics, this course emphasizes the cultivation of analytical, computational, and self-learning abilities. This course is divided into two parts: statically indeterminate structural mechanics and statically determinate structural mechanics. In total, the statically indeterminate structural mechanics and the statically determinate structural mechanics sections will each be composed of 32 credit hours and a learning period of 8 weeks. This will allow students to learn and better understand the mechanical properties and calculations of various structures, and lay a solid foundation for the continued study of more advanced topics.
