IIT Kharagpur Structural Analysis

I am doing BE in civil engineering from IIT Kharagpur and looking for the structural analysis notes. Will you please provide me the structural analysis notes and also suggest me some good books for this topic? Also tell me who is the professor in IIT kharagpur who teach the structural analysis?

Sir I am looking for the Structural Analysis notes of the IIT Kharagpur so can you please provide me the same

The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur is a public engineering institution established by the government of India in 1951

Below I am giving you the Structural Analysis notes of the IIT Kharagpur which involves the following points

1. Differentiate between various structural forms such as beams, plane truss,
space truss, plane frame, space frame, arches, cables, plates and shells.

2. State and use conditions of static equilibrium.

3. Calculate the degree of static and kinematic indeterminacy of a given
structure such as beams, truss and frames.

4. Differentiate between stable and unstable structure.

5. Define flexibility and stiffness coefficients.

6. Write force-displacement relations for simple structure.


Classification of Structures

All structural forms used for load transfer from one point to another are 3- dimensional in nature. In principle one could model them as 3-dimensional elastic structure and obtain solutions (response of structures to loads) by solving the associated partial differential equations. In due course of time, you will appreciate the difficulty associated with the 3-dimensional analysis. Also, in many of the structures, one or two dimensions are smaller than other dimensions. This geometrical feature can be exploited from the analysis point of view. The dimensional reduction will greatly reduce the complexity of associated governing equations from 3 to 2 or even to one dimension. This is indeed at a cost. This reduction is achieved by making certain assumptions (like Bernoulli-Euler’ kinematic assumption in the case of beam theory) based on its observed behaviour under loads. Structures may be classified as 3-, 2- and 1-dimensional (see Fig. 1.1(a) and (b)). This simplification will yield results of reasonable and acceptable accuracy. Most commonly used structural forms for load transfer are: beams, plane truss, space truss, plane frame, space frame, arches, cables, plates and shells. Each one of these structural arrangement supports load in a specific way.
