For all other architectural asst 4th sem syllabus for diploma m scheme tndte you can visit Architectural Asst 4th Sem Syllabus for Diploma M Scheme TNDTE Subjects. The detail syllabus for mechanics of structures is as follows.

Rationale:

This is a fundamental subject which covers broad elements of engineering mechanics, strength of materials and theory of structures. Study of this subject enables the student to distinguish between different types of stress and strain in a material, under the action of external forces. The student will learn to analyse simple structural elements for their design which he usually needs in the professional life. Teachers while imparting instruction should stress on concepts and principles and provide considerable practice in problem solving.

Objectives:

• Understand the Stress, strain and elastic constants.
• Understand the Application of stress and strain in engineering field.
• Know about the behavior of ductile and brittle materials.
• Locate the position of centroid of different geometrical section and Built up section
• Determine Ixx, Iyy, Zxx, Zyy of different geometrical section & built up sections.
• Understand stresses in beams due to bending.
• Determine the Slope and Deflection of Determinate beams by area moment method.
• Analyze of Continuous beam, fixed beam and propped cantilever by Theorem of Three moment and draw SFD & BMD.
• Define different types of Columns and to find Critical load of Columns.
• Analyze Pin jointed frames by graphical method.
• Solving problems in the course of study.
