Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to
- Understand the concepts of bending stresses, shear stresses and deflection induced in beams.
- Understand the effect of loading on columns and their behaviour under loading, stability of Dams and Retaining walls under the action of lateral loads , effects of Loading on statically determinate beams and frames.
Theory of Simple Bending.
Theory of simple bending – assumptions – Neutral axis – Bending stress distribution – Moment of resistance – curvature of beams – Bending equation – strength of beams – Rectangular, circular, and L sections practical applications – simple problems- Shear stress in beams -Equation for shear stress in a layer of a beam (Derivation of formula not required) – Shear Stress distribution diagrams for various beam sections such as rectangular, solid circular and I sections – Problems.
Deflection of Beams

Columns and Struts
Short and long columns – Axial loading only – solid circular, Hollow circular, Rectangle and I-section and Built up columns – different end conditions – slenderness ratio – calculation of safe load on columns by Eulers and Rankines formula – Effective length, radius of gyration and slenderness ratio – limitation of Eulers formula – strength of columns – problems – stress distribution at the base of column due to eccentric load about one axis-problems – core of a column.
Dams and Retaining Walls
Introduction – rectangular dams – trapezoidal dams having water face vertical and inclined -Conditions for the stability of a dam – conditions to avoid tension in the masonry dam at its base, to prevent the over – turning of the dam, the sliding of dam and to prevent the crushing of masonry at the base of the dam – Minimum base width of a dam – Active and passive earth pressure – Angle of internal friction – Angle of surcharge – calculation of active earth pressure by Rankines formula with and without surcharge – General conditions of stability of retaining walls – middle third rule – Distribution of pressure on foundation of retaining walls – calculation of minimum base width – Calculation of minimum depth of foundation by Rankines formula.
Statically Indeterminate Beams
Statically determinate and indeterminate structures – definition – degree of static indeterminacy – Cantilever beam with UDL on whole span and propped at free end – cantilever beams with point load between fixed and propped ends – Calculation of prop reaction – SFD and BMD -Fixed Beams: Introduction-Sagging and hogging Bending moments – merits and demerits – Determination of Fixed end moments by moment Area method – standard cases -fixed beams subjected to symmetrical concentrated loads – Fixed beams subjected to U.D.L throughout – sketching B.M.D. and S.F.D – problems (without sinking of props) – Max deflection formulae of fixed beams subjected to central point load and U.D.L throughout (No derivation) -problems -Continuous Beams: Merits and demerits – Continuous beams – effect of continuous supports – support moments – Clapeyrons Theorem of three moments – equation (without derivation) – continuous beams with central point load or U.D.L. throughout for each span -problems on two span continuous beams with simply supported or over hanging ends only -Reaction at supports in continuous beams – sketching S.F.D. and B.M.D (Beam with varying moments of inertia, supports at different levels not included)
