AR6301 MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES-2

OBJECTIVES:

To enable a student to understand the basic concepts of shear force and bending moment acting on beams subjected to various loading conditions through exercises. 

• To determine the stresses in beams and strength of sections by working out problems. 

• To calculate deflection of beams using methods. 

• To study the theory of columns by working out problems. 

• To understand the concept of inter determinate structure and its analysis. 

• Case studies and Models wherever feasible. 

UNIT I SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT

Basic concepts – shear force and bending moment diagrams for cantilever and simply supported beams subjected to various types of loadings (Point loads, uniformly distributed loads) – Over hanging simply supported beams – Point of contra flexure 

UNIT II STRESSES IN BEAMS

Theory of simple bending – Bending stress distribution – Strength of sections – Beams of composite sections (Flitched beams) – Shearing stress distribution in beam sections 

UNIT III DEFLECTION OF BEAMS

Slope and deflection at a point–Double Integration method and Macaulay’s method for simply 

supported and cantilever beams 

UNIT IV COLUMNS

Short and long columns – Concept of Elastic stability – Euler’s theory – Assumptions and Load 

carrying capacity of Columns with different end conditions – Concept of Effective length – Slenderness ratio – Limitations of Euler’s theory – Rankine’s formula. 

UNIT V STATICALLY INDETERMINATE BEAMS

Introduction – Determination of degree of statically indeterminacy for beams and frames –Concept of Analysis (No Problems) 

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the student should be able to: 

 Apply the concepts of determining the techniques of finding the stresses. 

 Use the theory of simple bending theory to find the deflection in beams. 

 Analyze and solve the different types of columns. 

 Analyze the différant types of indeterminate beams.
