AR3302 Structural Systems and their Analysis Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES

 To introduce the principles of loads and distribution.
 To enable understanding of the basic concepts of shear force and bending moment acting on beams subjected to various loading conditions through exercises.
 To give knowledge about how to determine stresses in beams and strength of sections.
 To give knowledge about how to calculate deflection of beams using different methods and to explain theory and analysis of columns.
 To give understanding of the concept of statically indeterminate structures and their analysis.

UNIT I LOADS AND LOAD DISTRIBUTION

Types of Load – Gravity, Wind, Dead, Live Load. Introduction to structural systems, Load flow and distribution. Concept of load distribution for structural systems and overall stability like a) One way slab b) Two way slab c) Arches e) portal frames f) Space Structures.

UNIT II BENDING OF BEAMS

Beams and supporting conditions. Types of supports. Shear force and bending moment for simply supported, cantilever and over hanging beams. Theory of simple bending. Stress distribution at a cross section due to bending moment and shear for Rectangular, I and T sections. Concept of Flitched beams (no mathematical calculation).

UNIT III DEFLECTION OF BEAMS

Relation between slope, deflection and curvature. Determination of deflection and slope for simply supported and Cantilever beams using Double Integration Method, Macaulay’s method and Moment Area Method.

UNIT IV COLUMNS

Columns- Concept of Axial and eccentric loads on columns. Combined bending and axial Load. Euler’s and Rankine formulae for columns. Simple problems.

UNIT V STATICALLY INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

Introduction. Determination of degree of statical indeterminacy for beams and frames. Advantages and disadvantages of statically indeterminate structures. Method of consistent deformation. Method of Moment distribution for continuous beams and Single portal frames. Application to simple problems.

OUTCOME

 Understanding of concept of loads.
 Ability to apply the concepts of determining the techniques of finding the stresses.
 Ability to use the theory of simple bending to find the deflection in beams.
 Ability to analyse and solve the different types of columns and analyse the different types of indeterminate beams.
