This course aims to teach the basic concepts and principles of statics to the students of Civil Engineering Department in the second semester, to gain the ability to make calculations related to equilibrium and to develop the ability to analyze engineering applications in this field.

Introduction to mechanics, main principles of mechanics, vectors, forces, statics of material points, calculation of equivalent force systems, determination of center of gravity, calculation of equilibrium of rigid bodies, determination of internal forces in plane bar elements, obtaining cross-sectional effects, analysis of plane and space truss systems, calculation of moments of inertia, application of the principle of virtual work and potential energy.
