AR3028 Advanced Structures Syllabus:

AR3028 Advanced Structures Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES

 To give an understanding of the loss of pre- stress and design requirements for determinate beams.
 To provide familiarity with the concept of industrial structures and high rise structures.
 To enable the study of concepts of tensile structures, domes, shells and folded plate

UNIT I PRESTRESSED CONCRETE

Losses of Prestress. Design requirements. Design of determinate beams.

UNIT II INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURES

Classification, planning and layout requirements, functional requirements. Types of industrial structures- power plants, bunkers and silos, cooling towers, containment structures, chimneys, Merits.

UNIT III HIGH–RISE BUILDINGS

Introduction. Load action in high rise buildings. Various structural systems. Waffle slab. Approximate analysis of frames for gravity and horizontal loadings.

UNIT IV TENSILE STRUCTURES

Concept, development, laws of formation, merits and demerits of pneumatic structures. Basic principles, forms, merits and demerits of cable structures.

UNIT V SHELLS, DOMES AND FOLDED PLATES

Shells of translation. Shells of revolution. Classification of shells and different forms. Domes. Types of folded plates. Space frames.

OUTCOME

 An understanding of concepts and applications of pre-stressed concrete.
 An understanding of concepts and application of industrial structures and sky scrapers.
 Familiarity with the theory and applications of tensile structures, grids, domes, shells and folded plates.
