    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.
