OBJECTIVES:
 To make students aware of how structural resolutions are important in realization of
architectural design concept. At this stage, students shall be exposed to forces,
moments, and resolution of forces.
 To make the students understand basic properties of solids and sections which influence
their behavior under the effect of various types of forces.

UNIT I FORCES AND STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS 16


Principles of statics- Forces and their effects-Types of force systems - Resultant of
concurrent and parallel forces--Lami’s theorem- principle of moments -Varignon’s theorem -
principle of equilibrium –Types of supports and loadings –Determination of reactions for
simply supported beams - simple problems.

UNIT II ANANLYSIS OF PLANE TRUSSES 12


Analysis of plane trusses - Introduction to Determinate and Indeterminate plane trusses -
Analysis of simply supported and cantilevered trusses by method of joints and method of
sections.

UNIT III PROPERTIES OF SECTION 12


Properties of section -Centroid- Moment of Inertia - Section modulus – Radius of gyration -
Theorem of perpendicular axis - Theorem of parallel axis –simple problems.

UNIT IV ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS 10


Elastic properties of solids –concept of stress and strain –deformation of axially loaded
simple bars-types of stresses- Concept of axial and volumetric stresses and strains.
(excluding composite bar).
UNIT V ELASTIC CONSTANTS 10
Elastic constants –Elastic Modulus-Shear Modulus- Bulk Modulus-Poisson’s ratio - Relation
between elastic constants - Application to problems.
TOTAL: 60 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
 Apply the concepts of action of forces on a body and should be able to apply the
equilibrium concepts.
 Students are taught basic geometric properties and the behavior of materials under
effect of forces.
