forces in beams, shear force and bending moments
 Apply and explain the method of sections used to determine shear and bending moment at SPECIFIED POINTS in beams
 Use and explain the application of shear and bending moment DIAGRAMS to analyse internal forces in BEAMS
 Use and explain the application of shear and bending moment DIAGRAMS to analyse internal forces in FRAMES
Analyse determinate beams using the moment area and conjugate beam methods to obtain member deflections
 Sketch and explain expected deflection curves for loaded beams and frames and describe the strategy chosen analyse each particular beam
 Explain the sign convention used and assumptions made in the moment area method of analysis of deflections in beams
 Analyse and determine the slope and deflection of given points on a loaded beam using the moment area method
 Explain the sign convention used and assumptions made in the conjugate beam method of analysis of deflections in beams
