Course Aim: To provide the fundamental knowledge in analysis of statically determinate structures.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to;

➢    describe types/forms of structures, idealized structural configurations and free-body diagrams, determinacy and stability.

➢    discuss load-path and transfer mechanisms of structures subjected to external loads.

➢    analyze statically determinate trusses, frames, cables and arches.

➢    analyze beams and trusses for moving loads.

Course Content:

➢    Introduction: Introduction to different types/forms of structures, types of structural elements in 2D and 3D structures, types of loading and joints; Idealization of statically determinate structures; Free-body diagrams, degree of determinacy and stability.

➢    Loading and Load Paths: Loading on structures, dead, live, wind and other loads, Combined loading, load paths, one way and two-way slabs.

➢    Frame Structures: Definition of frame structures; Axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams for 2D frames; Principal of superposition.

➢    Cable Structures: Characteristics of cables; Analysis of cables subjected to concentrated forces and uniformly distributed loads.

➢    Arch Structures: Characteristics of arches; Analysis of 3-hinghed arches: axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams.

➢    Influence Lines: Development of influence lines for statically determinate beams and trusses; Muller-Breslau principle; Maximum influence at a point due to a series of concentrated forces; Absolute maximum shear and bending moment diagrams. Introduction to influence lines for statically indeterminate beams.

➢    Deflection of Structures: Calculation of deflections of statically determinate trusses, beams and frames; External work and complementary work; Strain energy and complementary strain energy; Principle of minimum potential energy; Principle of virtual work. Geometric methods: moment area theorem, Castigiliano’s theorem for beams and frames; Work and energy method: Castigiliano’s 2nd theorem.

➢    Field Visit: Identify different types of structures: trusses, beams, frames, arches and cables; Support conditions and loading; Visualize load paths and deflected shapes.
