Structural Analysis Etask 4
The aim of this assessment task is to evaluate the appropriate use of the Moment Distribution Method for structural analysis
• Please download the eTask4 from Canvas. The students are required to use the Moment Distribution method for eTask4.
• Students need complete the eTask and upload the report to Canvas before the due time. eTask4 report (the pdf file) must include the detailed working out.
• eTask3 is due at 11:59pm 29 Oct 2024. Students are expected to plan and manage their time in order to submit this task by the due date. Late submissions and submissions other than through Canvas will not be accepted.
