UNIT-I INDETERMINATE FRAMES 9+3

Determinate and indeterminate structures- Degree of static and kinematic
indeterminacies for plane frames - analysis of indeterminate pin-jointed frames - rigid
frames (Degree of statical indeterminacy up to two) - Energy and consistent
deformation methods.

UNIT-II MOVING LOADS AND INFLUENCE LINES 9+3

Maximum bending moment and shear force diagrams for simply supported spans
traversed by single point load - two concentrated loads - Uniformly distributed load, shorter
and longer than the span. Influence lines for reaction bending moment and shear force
diagrams for simply supported beams - Criteria for maximum moment & shear under series of
moving concentrated loads in beams. Absolute maximum forces in beams under moving udl.
Muller Breslau’s principle – Influence lines for continuous beams.

UNIT-III ARCHES 9+3

Arches as structural forms – Examples of arch structures – Types of arches – Analysis of
three hinged, two hinged, parabolic and circular arches – Settlement and temperature
effects.

UNIT-IV SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD 9+3

Principle of the method - symmetry and anti-symmetry analysis and application
to continuous beams - portal frames with and without sway (single bay - Single storey).

UNIT-V MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD 9+3

Principle of the method - Distribution and carryover of moments – Stiffness and
carry over factors - analysis and application to continuous beams - portal frames with
and without sway (single bay - Single storey).
