CED 315 / Structural Theory
3 units lec. & 3 units lab.
This is a professional course common to all Civil Engineering students designed
to provide fundamental concepts, principles, and theories in the theory of
structures and structural analysis for internal actions in a structure and its
deformations under load.
CED 225 - Mechanics of Deformable BodiesContent Stand
In this lesson, the student is able to demonstrate
the behavior and deformation of a structure under load.
A prior knowledge about the fundamentals of force
reaction calculations (refers to external forces) as well
as their nature while acting in the structure (refers to the
internal forces) is important.Course Outcomes
At the end of this module, the student can be able to:
1. Identify and classify various types of planar and spatial;
structural systems and the manner by which these are
supported for stability.
2. Determine the state of static and kinematic determinacy and
stability of structural systems, externally and internallyTextbooks

FORMSMass structures consist of materials that are put together to
form a solid structure. Their strength is a function of the
weight and hardness of the materials. Examples of mass
structures include dams, adobe walls, and mountains. Mass
structures are robust in that small amounts of the structure
can be lost with little effect on the strength of the structure,
but are limited in application to relatively simple designs.
Consider mass structures for barriers, walls, and small
shelters— especially in primitive environments where
building skills and materials are limited.Adobe wall Masonry wallae laneeagv Cael est)
Frame structures consist of struts joined to form a framework.
Their strength is a function of the strength of the elements
and joints, and their organization. Often a cladding or skin is
added to the frame, but this rarely adds strength to the
structure. Examples of frame structures include most modern
homes, bicycles, and skeletons. Frame structures are relatively
light, flexible, and easy to construct. The most common frame
configuration is the assembly of struts into triangles, which
are then assembled to form larger structures. Consider frame
structures for most large design applications.~—— eat eM tata nvT getsSpace FrameShell structures consist of a thin material that wraps
around to contain a volume. They maintain their
form and support loads without a frame or solid
mass inside. Their strength is a function of their
ability to distribute loads throughout the whole
structure. Examples of shell structures include
bottles, airplane fuselages, and domes.SY aTeV Saale le)
Shell structures are effective at resisting static
forces that are applied in specific ways, but are poor
at resisting dynamic forces. For example, an egg
effectively resists loads that are applied to its top
and bottom, but collapses quickly when the loads
are applied to its sidesShell Structure
Shell structures are lightweight and economical with
regards to material, but are complex to design and
vulnerable to catastrophic failure if the structure has
imperfections or is damaged. Consider shell structures for
containers, small cast structures, shelters, and designs
requiring very large and lightweight spans. Large shell
structures should generally be reinforced by additional
support elements to stabilize against buckling.BARREL VAULT SHELL ROOFNATURE OF LOADSwe Nature of Loads
A well studied area is modelling of loading. Depending on the
structure of interest, different types of loading will be prevalent. For
example, a structure such as a bridge will experience a loading for
each vehicle that passes over it, with the magnitude of the loading
dependent upon factors such as weight of vehicles, and their time of
arrival at the bridge. An airplane on the other hand, experiences
stresses during flight, as a continuous function, coupled with spikes
on take off and landing.Nature of Loads
Measurement of the stresses at a particular point in a particular
structure yields a trace which can be denoted S(f) representing the
stress as a function of time. For different applications, the
characteristic shape of this function will differ. It is useful to be able
to classify the various stresses that will be experienced by structures,
so that these may be taken into account during the design process.
These functions may be summarized with statistics, which it is
assumed yield a classification of the load experienced.The dead load includes loads that are relatively
constant over time, including the weight of the
structure itself, and immovable fixtures such as
walls, plasterboard or carpet. The roof is also a dead
load. Dead loads are also known as permanent or
static loads. Building materials are not dead loads
until constructed in permanent position.Live Loads
Live loads, or imposed loads, are temporary,
of short duration, or a moving load.
These dynamic loads may _ involve
considerations such as impact,
momentum, vibration, slosh dynamics of
fluids and material fatigue.Live Loads
Live loads, sometimes also referred to as
probabilistic loads, include all the forces
that are variable within the object's normal
operation cycle not including construction
or environmental loads.Live Loads
Roof and floor live loads are produced during
maintenance by workers, equipment and materials,
and during the life of the structure by movable objects,
such as planters and people.
Bridge live loads are produced by vehicles traveling
over the deck of the bridge.Environmental loads are structural loads caused by natural forces such as wind,
rain, snow, earthquake or extreme temperatures.

Dust loadsEngineers must also be aware of other actions that may affect a structure, such as:
* Foundation settlement or displacement
* Fire
* Corrosion
* Explosion
* Creep or shrinkage
* Impact from vehicles or machinery vibration
* Construction loadsLoad Combination
A load combination results when more than one load type acts on the
structure. Building codes usually specify a variety of load combinations together
with load factors (weightings) for each load type in order to ensure the safety of the
structure under different maximum expected loading scenarios. For example, in
designing a staircase, a dead load factor may be 1.2 times the weight of the
structure, and a live load factor may be 1.6 times the maximum expected live load.
These two "factored loads" are combined (added) to determine the "required
strength” of the staircase.Load Combina
The reason for the disparity between factors for dead load and
live load, and thus the reason the loads are initially categorized
as dead or live is because while it is not unreasonable to
expect a large number of people ascending the staircase at
once, it is less likely that the structure will experience much
change in its permanent load.Aircraft structural loads
For aircraft, loading is divided into two major categories: limit loads and
ultimate loads. Limit loads are the maximum loads a component or structure
may carry safely. Ultimate loads are the limit loads times a factor of 1.5 or the
point beyond which the component or structure will fail. Gust loads are
determined statistically and are provided by an agency such as the Federal
Aviation Administration. Crash loads are loosely bounded by the ability of
structures to survive the deceleration of a major ground impact. Other loads
that may be critical are pressure loads (for pressurized, high-altitude aircraft)
and ground loads. Loads on the ground can be from adverse braking or
maneuvering during taxiing. Aircraft are constantly subjected to cyclic
loading. These cyclic loads can cause metal fatigue.
