Understanding Bending Moment Diagrams in Structural Frames | IStructE Structural Behaviour Course

Explore the basics of qualitative structural analysis with Dr Jawed Qureshi in this comprehensive IStructE Structural Behaviour course. In this second part of the series, I cover the bending moment diagram (BMD) of single bay frames using qualitative structural analysis methods.

This is part of Dr Qureshi’s lecture series on understanding structural behaviour using qualitative analysis. Qualitative analysis helps you understand structures, load paths, member forces, deflected shapes, and bending moment diagrams without relying on complex math. Take the quiz and download the lecture slides for a complete learning experience—ideal for civil engineering students and professionals or those studying for the IStructE Certificate in Structural Behaviour.
