What will I learn?
This Strength of Materials Course provides a straightforward, hands-on guide to choosing steel or reinforced concrete for a small footbridge. You will identify loads and their combinations, model a simple span, determine internal forces, select appropriate sections, verify stresses and deflection, and compile a clear, organised report using real-world data, code-compliant limits, and trustworthy references.
Elevify advantages
