Rationale

There are different types of structures made up of different materials such as concrete,
steel, metals and timber. They are subjected to various types of loading/ forces such as
axial, shear, bending and torsion. This subject equips the students to analyse the internal
behavior of material of the structural members under different types of loading. The
knowledge gained in this subject is helpful to study other subjects like Structural Analysis
and Structural Design.

Objectives

• To study the engineering properties of the materials and solids and analyze the same to
evaluate the stress –strain behaviour.

• To analyze the internal forces for the statistically determinate and compound beams
having internal hinges with different types of loading.
• To understand the concept and behaviour of flexural members (beams) in flexure and
shear, solid circular shaft for torsion, thin shells for internal stresses.

• To introduce the concept of strain energy for axial, flexure, shear and torsion.

• To study the behaviour of axially loaded columns and struts using different theories
available for the analysis with various end conditions.

Contribution to Outcomes

On completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• Understand and determine the engineering properties for metals and non-metals.
• Understand the concepts of shear force, bending moment, axial force for statically
determinate beams and compound beams having internal hinges; and subsequently, its
application to draw the shear force, bending moment and axial force diagrams.
• Analyze the flexural members for its structural behavior under the effect of flexure
(bending), shear and torsion either independently or in combination thereof.
• Study the behavior of the structural member under the action of axial load, bending and
twisting moment.
• Study the deformation behavior of axially loaded columns having different end
conditions and further, evaluate the strength of such columns.
• The successful completion of the course will equip the students for undertaking the
courses dealing with the analysis and design of determinate and indeterminate
structures.

Theory examination:
1. The question paper will comprise of six questions; each carrying 20 marks.
2. The first question will be compulsory and will have short questions having weightage

of 4 5 marks covering the entire syllabus.

3. The remaining five questions will be based on all the modules of the entire syllabus and
may be. For this, the modules shall be divided proportionately and further, the
weightage of the marks shall be judiciously awarded in proportion to the importance
of the sub-module and contents thereof.
4. There can be an internal choice in various questions/ sub-questions in order to
accommodate the questions on all the topics/ sub-topics.
5. The students will have to attempt any three questions out of remaining five questions.
6. Total four questions need to be attempted.

Oral Examination:

The oral examination shall be based on the entire syllabus and the report of the
experiments/ practicals conducted by the students including assignments.

List of Practicals:
1. Tension test on mild steel bars (stress-strain behavior, Young’s modulus determination)
2. Tests on Tor Steel (Tension, bend and re-bend)
3. Transverse Test on cast iron.
4. Shear Test on mild steel, cast iron, and brass.
5. Torsion Test on mild steel and cast iron bar.
6. Brinell Hardness test (any three metal specimen)
7. Rockwell Hardness test on mild steel.
8. Izod / Charpy impact test (any three metal specimen)

Internal Assessment:
There will be two class tests (to be referred to as an ‘Internal Assessment) to be conducted
in the semester. The first internal assessment (IA) will be conducted in the mid of the
semester based on the 40% of the syllabus. It will be of 20 marks. Similarly, the second
internal assessment (IA) will be conducted at the end of the semester and it will be based
on next 40% of the syllabus. It will be of 20 marks. Lastly, the average of the marks scored
by the students in both the Internal Assessment will be considered. Duration of both the IA
examination will be of one hour duration, respectively.

Term Work:
The term-work shall comprise of the neatly written report of the assignments. The
assignments shall be given covering the entire syllabus in such a way that the students
would attempt at least four problems on each modules/ sub-modules contents thereof
further.

Distribution of Term-work Marks:

The marks of term-work shall be judiciously awarded depending upon the quality of the
term work including that of the report on experiments assignments. The final certification
acceptance of term-work warrants the satisfactory the appropriate completion of the
assignments the minimum passing marks to be obtained by the students. Broadly, the split
of the marks for term work shall be as given below. However, there can be further
bifurcation in the marks under any of the heads to account for any sub-head therein.
Report of the Experiments : 10 Marks
Assignments : 10 Marks
Attendance : 05 Marks
Total : 25 Marks
Further, while giving weightage of marks on the attendance, following guidelines shall be
resorted to.

75% 80%: 03 Marks; 81% 90%: 04 Marks; 91% onwards: 05 Marks
