Torsion Torsion
Torsional Moment (Internal Torque) Torsional Moment Diagram
• Torsional Moment at a section of a structural The diagram in which the ordinate represent torsional moment
member is the internal resistive force developed the abscissa represent the position of the section is called
at that section to resist twisting of the section. Torsional Moment Diagram (TMD).
• It is mathematically calculated by taking the
algebraic sum of the torsional couples (external
torques) either to the right or left of the section.

Why we consider the stresses on inclined planes? Why we consider the stresses on inclined planes?
Reason 1: Many often, failure is observed in inclined directions. Reason 2: Sometimes, structural members are made up of components
joined on an inclined plane. Design of joint is of crucial importance

Theory of Columns Theory of Columns


A member with prominently compressive load is known as
strut. Normally strut is a term used for compression members Long Column and Short Column
in a truss. Strut can be horizontal, vertical or inclined. Short Column:
A vertical compressive member is commonly referred to as • Fail in crushing (brittle) or compression yielding
Column. (ductile)
Small wooden, steel or rock column is known as Post • Slenderness ratio is less.
The column that support a big structure like bridge is known as • Capacity of column depend on the area of cross
Pier section alone and independent of the length.
Long Column (Slender Column):
Strut in a truss system Column • Fail in buckling
• Slenderness ratio is more.
• Capacity of column depend on the area of cross
section and the length.
