CE8502 Structural Analysis Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2017

OBJECTIVES:

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

UNIT I STRAIN ENERGY METHOD

Determination of Static and Kinematic Indeterminacies — Analysis of continuous beams, plane frames and indeterminate plane trusses by strain energy method (up to two degree of redundancy).

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 and carry over factors — Distribution and carryover of moments — 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.
