Civil Engineering
Mechanics
Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the study
of motion and the forces that cause or affect motion.
Civil engineering mechanics is the study of how structures
like buildings and bridges work and stay standing under
different conditions.
BRANCHES OF MECHANICS
• FLUID MECHANICS
Deals with the behavior of fluids ( liquids and gases ) and their
interaction with structures, particularly in hydraulic systems and water
related infrastructure like dams, bridges, and pipelines.
• SOLID MECHANICS
Solid mechanics is a branch of mechanics that focuses on
studying the behavior of solid materials under various conditions,
including the effects of forces, deformations, and stresses.
It has further two types ,
Branches of Solid Mechanics
• Deformable Bodies
Deformable bodies change
shape under external forces, crucial for
engineering design and structural
analysis.
• Rigid Bodies
Rigid bodies are objects that do
not deform when subjected to external
forces, maintaining their shape and size.
DYNAMICS :
Deals with the forces and motion of objects or
structures, particularly when they are subjected to
dynamic loads like wind, earthquake, or moving
vehicles.
STATIC :
The study of forces and their effects on stationary
structures and components. This includes
analyzing equilibrium conditions and determining
forces acting on various structural elements.
FORCE
Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, or
change direction, according to Newton's laws of motion.
LENGTH
Length is a measurement of how long an object is in one dimension, typically
represented by a distance between two points, often measured in units like meters
or feet.
TIME
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in a
linear fashion, measured in units such as seconds, minutes, hours, and years.
MASS
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which determines its inertia and
gravitational attraction to other objects. It is typically measured in units such as
kilograms or pounds.
1ST law of NEWTON
• Newton's first law of motion, also
known as the law of inertia,
states that an object will remain
at rest or in uniform motion in a
straight line unless acted upon by
an external force.
2ND law of NEWTON
• Newton's second law of motion states
that the acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the net force
acting on it and inversely proportional
to its mass. Mathematically, it can be
expressed as F = ma , where F is the
net force applied to the object, m is its
mass, and a is the resulting
acceleration.
3RD law of NEWTON
• Newton's third law of motion
states that for every action, there is
an equal and opposite reaction. In
other words, when one object
exerts a force on another object,
the second object exerts an equal
force in the opposite direction on
the first object.
Newton's law of Gravitation
• Newton's law of gravitation states
that every particle in the universe
attracts every other particle with a
force that is directly proportional to
the product of their masses and
inversely proportional to the square
of the distance between their
centers.
CENTRE OF GRAVITY
• The center of gravity is the average
location of the weight of an object.
• OR The point where the whole weight
of the body us asumed to be acted .
Centroid
• The centroid of the body is
known as geometric center or
center of figure
UNITS
Units are standardized measurements used to quantify various
physical quantities such as length, mass, time, temperature, and others.
Examples of common units include meters for length, kilograms for
mass, seconds for time, and degrees Celsius for temperature.
