STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS I

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

• To introduce the students to the basic theory and concepts of classical methods of structural analysis

UNIT I

ANALYSIS OF TRUSSES

Determinate and indeterminate trusses - analysis of determinate trusses - method of joints - method of sections - Deflections of pin-jointed plane frames - lack of fit - change in temperature method of tension coefficient - Application to space trusses.

UNIT II

SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD

Slope deflection equations - Equilibrium conditions - Analysis of continuous beams and rigid frames - Rigid frames with inclined members - Support settlements - symmetric frames with symmetric and skew-symmetric loadings.

UNIT III

MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD

Stiffness - distribution and carry over factors -- Analysis of continuous Beams- Plane rigid frames with and without sway - Support settlement - symmetric frames with symmetric and skew-symmetric loadings.

UNIT IV

FLEXIBLITY METHOD

Primary structures - Compatibility conditions - Formation flexibility matrices - Analysis of indeterminate pin-jointed plane frames, continuous beams and rigid jointed plane frames by direct flexibility approach.

UNIT V
