ST4016 Design of Shell and Spatial Structures Syllabus:
ST4016 Design of Shell and Spatial Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
To study the behaviour and design of shells, folded plates, space frames and application of FORMIAN software.
UNITI CLASSIFICATION OF SHELLS
Classification of shells, types of shells, structural action, – Design of circular domes, conical roofs, circular cylindrical shells by ASCE Manual No.31.
UNIT II FOLDED PLATES
Folded Plate structures, structural behaviour, types, design by ACI – ASCE Task Committee method – pyramidal roof- Prismoidal roof.
UNIT III INTRODUCTION TO SPACE FRAME
Space frames – configuration – types of nodes – Design Philosophy – Behaviour
UNIT IV ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Analysis of space frames – Design of Nodes – Pipes – Space frames – Introduction to ComputerAided Design.
UNIT V SPECIAL METHODS
Application of Formex Algebra, FORMIAN for generation of configuration.
OUTCOMES:
On completion of this course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Explain the different forms of shells and design the domes and shells
CO2 Evaluate the structural behaviour and design of folded plate structures
CO3 Explain the various functional configurations of space frames
CO4 Design of space frames and apply the knowledge of CAD for the analysis of space structures
CO5 Analyse the configurations of space structures using FORMIAN software
