CE 010 506 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS I
Teaching scheme: Credits: 4
3hour lecture and 1 hour tutorial per week
Objective:
To study the force and displacement methods of structural analysis of indeterminate
structures , the influence line diagrams and an introduction to Finite Element Method.
Module 1 (12 hours)
Indeterminate structures- force and displacement methods of structural analysis.
Force method of analysis of indeterminate structures - static indeterminacy
Method of consistent deformation, Clapyron’ s theorem of three moments- analysis
of fixed and continuous beams
Module 2 (12 hours)
Displacement method of analysis: Kinematic indeterminacy
Slope deflection method-fundamental equations-analysis of continuous beams &
portal frames (with sway and without sway)
Moment distribution method - analysis of continuous beams & portal frames (with
sway and without sway).
Module 3 (14 hours)
Matrix methods: Stiffness method-stiffness-equilibrium equation
Direct stiffness method - structure stiffness matrix-assembly of structure stiffness
matrix from element stiffness matrix-equivalent joint load – incorporation of
boundary conditions –analysis of beams and pin-jointed frames.
Module 4 (10 hours)
Flexibility method: Flexibility –compatibility equation-flexibility influence
coefficients – force transformation matrix-flexibility matrix-analysis of beams &
frames (rigid and pin-jointed).
Module 5 (12hours)
Finite element method: Introduction to FEM-Historical development-Idealization of
actual structures- Boundary conditions. General procedure of FEA-Displacement
approach - shape functions
