JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Pre-requisites

Structural Analysis I & II

Course Objectives

To impart knowledge on the analysis of indeterminate structures like continuous

beams, trusses and portal frames.

Course Outcome

The learner will be able to analyse different indeterminate structures using Matrix

methods.

UNIT - I

Introduction to matrix methods of analysis - statical indeterminacy and kinematical indeterminacy - degree of freedom - coordinate system - structure idealization stiffness and flexibility matrices - suitability element stiffness equations - elements flexibility equations - mixed force - displacement equations - for truss element, beam element and torsional element. Transformation of coordinates - element stiffness matrix - and load vector - local and global coordinates.

UNIT - II

Assembly of stiffness matrix from element stiffness matrix - direct stiffness method - general procedure - banded matrix - semi bandwidth - assembly by direct stiffness matrix method.

UNIT - III

Analysis of plane truss - continuous beams with and without settlement - plane frame including side sway single storey, single – bay and garde frame by flexibility method using system approach by flexibility methods and gables frames by Gable System Approach.

UNIT - IV

Analysis of plane truss - continuous beams with and without settlement - plane frame including sides sway, grids and gable frames by stiffness methods, single bay – two storey, two bay single – storey.

UNIT - V

Special analysis procedures - static condensation and sub structuring - initial and thermal

stresses.
