PTCE3502 Structural Analysis I Syllabus:

PTCE3502 Structural Analysis I Syllabus – Anna University Part time Regulation 2023

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 STIFFNESS METHOD

Restrained structure –Formation of stiffness matrices – equilibrium condition – Analysis of Continuous Beams, Pin-jointed plane frames and rigid frames by direct stiffness method.
