Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)

These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes.
1) The teacher can use PPTs, Videos to discuss forces acting on a building component.
2) The students need to sketch the forces acting on building elements for its unique qualities.
3) Quizzes, models, seminars from students can be encouraged.

Module-1
Simple Stresses & Strains: Basic concept of simple stress and compound
stress , deformation Definition and discussion on Simple stress, deformation,
strain ,elasticity, ductility, brittleness , Hooke’s law ,fatigue and factor of
safety
Numerical problems on calculation of simple stress and deformation in bars of
uniform and varying c/s subjected to tensile and compressive loads.

Teaching- 1) The teacher can use PPTs, Videos to discuss stresses acting on a building
Learning component.
Process
2) The students need to sketch the stresses acting on building elements for its
unique qualities.
3) Quizzes, models, seminars from students can be encouraged.

Module-2

Modulus of Elasticity (E), Modulus of Rigidity (C), and Bulk modulus (K),
Poisson’s ratio, relationship between elastic constants , Temperature effects
on Structures Numerical problems on calculation of elastic constants,
deformation of composite bars subjected to compressive and tensile loads

Teaching- 1) The teacher can use PPTs, Videos to discuss topics and load acting on various
Learning building components
Process
2) The students need to sketch the forces acting on building components and
typical solutions in a simple building.
3) Quizzes, models, seminars from students can be encouraged.

Module-3

Elastic Stability of Columns

Column- Strut -length of column-Effective length of column-slenderness ratio-
short column and long column-failure of short column - failure of long column-
Critical load or Crippling load on long column- Euler’s theory of Long columns with
assumptions and formula for Critical load- concept of safe load.
Numerical problems on calculation of critical load and safe load using Euler’s-
Formula for long columns of solid and hollow circular and rectangular c/s.

Process typical solutions in a simple building.
3) Quizzes, models, seminars from students can be encouraged.

Module-4
Shear Force diagram SFD and Bending moment diagram BMD
Concept of shear force and bending moment in a beam subjected to external loads- sign
convention-pure bending-point of contra flexure - point of zero shear
Numerical problems on drawing SFD and BMD for Cantilever , Simply supported and
overhanging beams subjected to concentrated load and uniformly distributed load
(u d l ) , location of point of contra flexure.

Teaching- 1) The teacher can use PPTs, Videos to discuss SFD and BMD
Learning 2) The students need to sketch columns to understand slenderness ratio.

shear stress across the c/s of beam. (Rectangular, T , I sections)

Teaching- 1) The teacher can use PPTs, Videos to discuss stresses in Beams.
Learning 2) The students need to sketch various types of beams to understand stresses and
Process
deflection.
3) Quizzes, models, seminars from students can be encouraged.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 50% of the maximum marks (25 marks). A student shall be
deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/
course if the student secures not less than 40% (20 Marks out of 50)in the semester-end
examination(SEE), and a minimum of 50% (50 marks out of 100) in the CIE (Continuous Internal
Evaluation) and a minimum of 50% (50 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous
Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together. Based on this grading will be
awarded.
Continuous Internal Evaluation:
Three Unit Tests each of 20 Marks (duration 01 hour)
First test at the end of 5th week of the semester
Second test at the end of the 10th week of the semester
Third test at the end of the 15th week of the semester
Two assignments each of 10 Marks
First assignment at the end of 4th week of the semester
Second assignment at the end of 9th week of the semester
Group discussion/Seminar/quiz any one of three suitably planned to attain the COs and POs for 20 Marks
(duration 01 hours)
At the end of the 13th week of the semester
The sum of three tests, two assignments, and quiz/seminar/group discussion will be out of 100 marks and will be
scaled down to 50 marks
(to have less stressed CIE, the portion of the syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the methods of
the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a different syllabus portion of the course).
CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the
outcome defined for the course.
Semester End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for the
subject (duration 03 hours)
The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3
sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module..
Theory paper will be out of 100 marks and will be scaled down to 50 marks.
