JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

To impart knowledge on the analysis of steel structures like continuous beams,

steel frames and connection, using Plastic Analysis.

Course Outcomes

The learner will be able to design continuous beams and steel frames

UNIT - I

Analysis of Structures for Ultimate Load: Fundamental Principles – statical method of Analysis – Mechanism method of analysis – Method of analysis, Moment check – Carry over factor – Moment Balancing Method.

UNIT - II

Design of Continuous Beams: Continuous Beams of uniform section throughout – Continuous Beams with different cross-sections.

UNIT - III

Secondary Design Problems: Introduction – Influence of Axial force on the plastic moment – influence of shear force – local buckling of flanges and webs – lateral buckling – column stability.

UNIT - IV

Design of Connections: Introduction – requirement for connections – straight corner connections – Haunched connection – Interior Beam-Column connections.

UNIT - V
