For all other civil 4th sem syllabus for diploma m scheme tndte you can visit Civil 4th Sem Syllabus for Diploma M Scheme TNDTE Subjects. The detail syllabus for theory of structures is as follows.
Rationale:
Study of structural behaviour, analysis and design is a principal part of civil engineering courses and is essential for professional accreditation. This subject enhances the structural analytical ability of the students.
Objectives:
On completion of the course, the student will be familiar with:
- Determine the Slope and Deflection of Determinate beams by area moment method.
- Analyse Propped cantilevers and Fixed beams by Area-Moment method and draw SFD, BMD.
- Analyse Continuous beams by Theorem of Three moments and draw SFD, BMD.
- Analyse Continuous beams, Portal frames and Substitute frames by Moment Distribution Method and draw SFD, BMD.
- Define different types of Columns and find critical loads of Columns.
- Analyse Columns and Chimneys subject to eccentric loading / moment / horizontal loads and find maximum and minimum combined stresses in their sections.
- Calculate maximum and minimum bearing pressures and check the stability of Masonry Dams and Retaining walls.
