STABILITY OF STRUCTURES

Objectives
A treatment of stability as it relates to actual behavior
and design. Columns, frames, beams, and
beam
-columns are considered. Elastic and Inelastic theories are compared with actual behavior and
design specifications.
Syllabus
Concepts of stability Approaches to stability Analysis characteristic of stab
ility problems.
Buckling of columns of uniform and nonuniform sections
classical
approaches.
Behaviour of imperfect columns Equilibrium method Energy methodTimoshenko's method and
kinetic methods Ritz's and Galerkin`s
method method of succe
ssive approximations

Buckling by flexure torsional buckling of thin walled open sectioncombined torsional and
flexural buckling Effect of shear on buckling
Inelastic buckling of straight column double modulus theory tangent modulus theory Large

E 3 THEORY AND DESIGN OF PLATES
Objectives
Plate members are indispensable for structural systems. The main objective of this course is to
provide students with a rational basis of the analysis and design of reinforced concrete plate
members through advanced understanding of material and structural behavior. The subject will be
approached by looking into the behavior of reinforced concrete plate elements at material level,
element level and structural level and systems level.
