THEORY OF STRUCTURES

Theory of Structures is concerned with establishing an understanding of the behaviour of structures such as beams, columns, frames, plates and shells, when subjected to applied loads or other actions which have the effect of changing the state of stress and deformation of the structure. This notes covers determinate structures which can be simply solved using the three equilibrium equations. Course Coverage: - Loads on Structures - Double Integration Method - Area Moment Method - Conjugate Beam ...

Theory of Structures is concerned with establishing an understanding of the behaviour of structures such as beams, columns, frames, plates and shells, when subjected to applied loads or other actions which have the effect of changing the state of stress and deformation of the structure. This notes covers indeterminate structures wherein the use of equilibrium equations are not sufficient to solve the problem.
