UNIT 1:
Principle of Superposition – Basic Methods of Structural Analysis. Energy methods
UNIT 2:
Principle – Slope deflection equation- Concept of symmetry and anti symmetry -
Application to continuous beams - portal frames with and without sway (single bay - Single storey).
UNIT 3:
Principle - Stiffness- Distribution Factor and carryover moments
Application to continuous beams - portal frames with and without sway (single bay - Single storey).
UNIT 4:
Influence lines for reaction, bending moment and shear force diagrams for simply supported beams – Point load - Udl shorter and longer than the span - Moving loads -Maximum moment -Shear
Absolute maximum forces - series of concentrated loads and UDL in beams. Muller Breslau’s principle – Influence lines for continuous beams – concept of rolling loads for bridges
UNIT 5:
Analysis of plane truss with one or two redundant - trusses with lack of fit
