Abstract:
The objective of this project was to develop among civil engineering undergraduates, a
’feel' or awareness of how structures behave. Often a student is able to use quantitative
techniques to analyse a structure, but he/she lacks a qualitative understanding of
structural behaviour. The need to develop qualitative skills gains further importance with
the increasing usage of computers in the design and analysis of structures where a student must be capable of recognising whether the computer results are sensible.
