3. Force Method: Solution of statically indeterminate frames. Simple open statically indeterminate frame under force loading.
4. Force method: Solution of the statically indeterminate solid beams under the deformation load (uniform and non-uniform change of the temperature, yielding of the supports).
5. Force method: Solution of statically indeterminate continuous beams by the three-moment equation method.
6. Direct Stiffness Method (DSM) for resolving the planar statically indeterminate bar structures: Essence of the method.
7. Bar analysis (DSM): Local and global coordinate systems. Primary vector of end forces. Local stiffness matrix. Calculation of the end forces.
8. Bar analysis (DSM): Global stiffness matrix and the vector of nodal load. Solution of the set of equations. Calculation of the end forces, reactions and internal forces. Calculation of deformations.
9. DSM for solving planar frames under the force load.
