STABILITY OF STRUCTURES

M.Tech I Year II Semester (R17)

Course Objectives

To impart knowledge on the elastic, inelastic buckling and torsional buckling of

structures.

Course Outcomes

The learner will be able to understand buckling of bars and frames.

UNIT - I

Beam Columns: Differential equations for beam columns- beam columns with concentrated loads – continuous lateral loads-couples- beam columns with built in ends – continuous beams with axial load – application of trigonometrically series – Effects of initial curvature on deflections – Determination of allowable stresses.

UNIT - II

Elastic Buckling of bars and frames: Elastic Buckling of straight columns – Effect of shear stress on buckling – Eccentrically and laterally loaded columns- Buckling of frames-large deflections of buckled bars-Energy methods- Buckling of bars on elastic foundations- Buckle line of bar with intermediate compressive forces - Buckling of bars with change in cross-section – Effect of shear force on critical load- built up columns.

UNIT - III

In Elastic Buckling: Buckle line of straight bar- Double modulus theory – Tangent modulus theory, Inelastic lateral Buckling. Experiments and design formulae: Experiments on columns – Critical stress diagram – Empirical formulae for design –various end conditions

UNIT - IV

Torsion Buckling: Pure torsion of thin walled bars of open cross section – Non-uniform torsion of thin walled bars of open cross section- Torsional buckling – Buckling by torsion and flexure.

UNIT - V

Lateral buckling of simply supported Beams: Beams of Rectangular cross-section subjected to pure bending. Buckling of simply supported Rectangular plates: Derivation of equation of plate subjected to constant compression in one and two directions.
