- Compare stability of different geometric shapes.
- Correlate the actual field situations ah members subjected to different types of loading.
- Select appropriate shape, type and material of member from day to day situations for various types of stress and strain.
- Correlate the actual field situations with various types of beams (such as cantilever means canopy of a building, overhanging beam means slab with balcony provisio
- Shapes of various structural components resembling with shear force and bending moment diagrams of simple structures subjected to different types of loading. Identify the type of failure with respect to the shape.
- Study the mode of failures due to flexure and shear from field situations and prepare a report.
- Visit site/ design office and collect the data from day to day situation about stability and strength of column for buckling load.

Suggested Micro-Projects
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects are given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Collect the IS related to methods of testing and specifications for five materials used in actual practice.
- Select ten materials from day to day life and compare their mechanical properties and present it in a format of report.
- Prepare prototype model of various types of support, beams and loading.
- Prepare a report about beam sections subjected to bending and shear stresses from actual field/design office along with photographs and its justification.
- Collect photographs along with justification about failure of short and long columns from actual field situations.
