Introduction
ES301 THEORY OF STRUCTURES- V 2-1-0-0 3 2016
Course Objectives
• To introduce the design of various timber components in a building.
• To enable the understanding of the types, efficiency and strength, advantages and
disadvantages of Rivet and welded joints in steel.
• To enable the design of Tension (beams) and compression (columns) steel members in a
building under various conditions
Syllabus
Introduction to steel sections – Design of Connection; Design of tension member – plate, single angled
member; Compression member – single angled strut; Introduction to built up column, Design of laterally
restrained beams; Design of Column Bases; Introduction to timber beam and flitched timber beam; Types
of Flitched Beam -Design of flitched timber beam; Design of timber column - Slenderness Ratio -Built up
column
Expected Outcome
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

• Understand design philosophies

• Analyse and design steel tension and compression members
• Analyse and design timber structures.
