OBJECTIVES:

To learn the modern method of analysis of beams and frames.

UNIT I : ENERGY PRINCIPLES             [9 hours]
Strain energy and strain energy density – strain energy due to axial load, shear, flexure and
torsion – castigliano‟s theorems – principle of virtual work – application ofenergy theorems for computing deflections in beams and trusses – Maxwell‟s reciprocal theorems

UNIT II: DEFLECTION OF DETERMINATE STRUCTURES                [9 hours]
Principles of virtual work for deflections – Deflections of pin-jointed plane frames and rigid plane frames –Williott‟s diagram.

UNIT III: SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD      [9 hours]
Slope deflection equations- Analysis of continuous beams and rigid frames – Support settlements.
