SYLLABUS:

UNIT – I

Connections: Introduction: (a) Riveted connections – Definition, rivet strength and capacity- Codal Provisions, (b) Welded connections: Introduction, Advantages and disadvantages of welding- Strength of welds-Butt and fillet welds: Permissible stresses – IS Code requirements. Design of fillet weld subjected to moment acting in the plane and at right angles to the plane of the joints. All units i.e. from unit II to unit-VI to be taught in Limit State Design and in Welded connections only.

UNIT – II

Beams: Allowable stresses, design requirements as per IS Code-Design of simple and compound beams-Curtailment of flange plates, Beam to beam connection, check for deflection, shear, buckling, check for bearing, laterally unsupported beams.

UNIT –III

Tension Members and compression members: General Design of members subjected to direct tension and bending –effective length of columns. Slenderness ratio – permissible stresses. Design of compression members, struts etc. Roof Trusses: Different types of trusses – Design loads – Load combinations as per IS Code recommendations, structural details –Design of simple roof trusses involving the design of purlins, members and joints – tubular trusses.

UNIT – IV

Design of Columns: Built up compression members – Design of lacings and battens. Design Principles of Eccentrically loaded columns, Splicing of columns.

UNIT – V

Design of Column Foundations: Design of slab base and gusseted base. Column bases subjected moment.

UNIT – VI

Design of Plate Girder: Design consideration – I S Code recommendations Design of plate girder-Welded – Curtailment of flange plates, stiffeners – splicing and connections. Design of Gantry Girder: impact factors - longitudinal forces, Design of Gantry girders.
