    Structural Mechanics (CON4331) covers principles of statics in chapter 1, including that statics is the study of forces acting on rigid bodies at rest. Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For a structure to be in equilibrium, the sum of the forces in the x and y directions and the sum of the moments must equal zero. The chapter also discusses pin, roller, and fixed supports.

    Equilibrium of Structures
    If a structure is in equilibrium, all the forces and moments acting on it are balanced to each other. Fx = 0, Fy = 0, Mz = 0
