[Usually offered every other Spring beginning 2002] The course covers stability theory as it pertains to structural engineering. The lectures will primarily involve theoretical derivations of stability behavior and how this theory is translated into design rules. Course coverage begins at the structural member level, including the examination of in-plane elastic stability, in-plane inelastic stability, and three-dimensional elastic stability. The course concludes with an examination of two-dimensional structural stability, including elastic-plastic collapse of frames.
