Prestressed concrete is concrete that is placed under compression prior to service loads being applied through tensioning of steel tendons. This counteracts tensile stresses from loads to improve the performance of the concrete. Eugene Freyssinet is considered the father of prestressed concrete, developing techniques like high strength steel wires and conical wedges for post-tensioning in the 1930s-1940s. Prestressing can be through pre-tensioning or post-tensioning, depending on if the steel is tensioned before or after the concrete is cast. Popular post-tensioning systems include Freyssinet, Magnel Blaton, Gifford-Udall, and Lee-McCall methods. Prestressed concrete provides

This document discusses different methods of prestressing concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before placing concrete around them, while post-tensioning involves stressing tendons after the concrete has cured using hydraulic jacks. Post-tensioning allows for longer spans, thinner slabs, and more architectural freedom compared to conventional reinforced concrete or pretensioned concrete. Common applications of post-tensioning include parking structures, bridges, and building floors and roofs.

01 - Introduction to Statically Indeterminate Structures.pptxJoshuaBuluran1
ย
The support reactions and internal forces of statically determinate structures can be determined from the equations of equilibrium.
the equilibrium equations alone are not sufficient for determining the reactions and internal forces of such structures and must be supplemented by additional relationships based on the geometry of deformation of structures.
Compatibility conditions, ensure that the continuity of the displacements is maintained throughout the structure and that the structureโs various parts fit together.
Regardless of whether a structure is statically determinate or indeterminate, its complete analysis requires the use of three types of relationships:
Equilibrium Equations
Compatibility Conditions
Member force-deformation relations
In the analysis of indeterminate structures, it is necessary to solve the equilibrium equations in conjunction with the compatibility conditions of the structure to determine its response.
The resulting system of equations containing only one type of unknowns is then solved for the unknown forces or displacements, which are then substituted into the fundamental relationships to determine the remaining response of the structure
Force and displacement methods are exact because they satisfy the equilibrium and compatibility of the structure.
The preliminary designs of indeterminate structures are often based on the result of the approximate analysis.
Internal forces are estimated by making certain assumptions about the deformations or the distribution of forces
Statically indeterminate structures have more supports or members than required for static stability
The excess reactions and internal forces of indeterminate structure are referred as Redundants.
The number of redundants is termed as degree of indeterminacy.
The support reactions and internal forces of statically determinate structures can be determined from the equations of equilibrium.

Static-Determinacy-Stability (Theory of Structures).pdfshienellajacildo
ย
The document discusses different types of forces and stability in structures. It defines internal forces as those within a structure and external forces as outside actions on the structure. A structure is internally stable if it maintains its shape when detached from supports, and externally stable if there are enough support reactions to prevent rigid body movement. Overall stability requires both internal and external stability. Structures can be statically determinate, where forces can be calculated from equilibrium equations alone, or indeterminate otherwise. Trusses are structures of slender members joined at endpoints, and their stability and determinacy are also discussed.
The document discusses the classification of structures based on stability and statical determinacy. It defines different types of supports and condition equations. A structure is stable and determinate if it has 3 reaction components that are neither parallel nor concurrent. It is stable but indeterminate if it has more than 3 non-parallel/concurrent reactions. Several examples of structures are classified. Structures with less than 3 reactions or with concurrent reactions are unstable. Closed panels require 3 internal condition equations to be stable internally.
This document provides an introduction to the theory of structures course.

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF THREE STOREY FRAMED BUILDINGJoshua Gorinson
ย
This document discusses the history of structural analysis methods. It explains that statically indeterminate structures require analysis to ensure they have sufficient strength and rigidity. Two fundamental methods are described: force methods, which satisfy compatibility equations; and displacement methods, which satisfy equilibrium equations. Specific displacement methods discussed include the slope deflection method, which considers bending deformations, and the moment distribution method introduced by Hardy Cross, which is an iterative method for analyzing frames.
The document discusses structures and the forces that act upon them. It explains that gravity causes weight forces that must be counteracted through structural support and stability. Structures like buildings, bridges and towers are designed using principles like distributing strain forces through triangular compositions and ensuring the center of gravity remains inside the structure. Examples of structural failures are also examined, highlighting the importance of efficiency ratings and withstanding critical loads.
Seismic Analysis of High Rise Building Using Outriggers and Belt- Truss SystemIRJET Journal
ย
This document discusses the seismic analysis of a high-rise building using outrigger and belt-truss systems. It analyzes a 25-story building considering different floor acceleration ratios under earthquake loads. Response spectrum analysis is performed to determine the building's behavior by examining response parameters like lateral displacement and inter-story drift. Outrigger and belt-truss systems are found to improve the building's stiffness and reduce lateral loads compared to a structure without these systems. The document reviews several other studies analyzing different structural configurations and building heights to determine optimal outrigger locations.
Seismic Response of RC Framed Structures Having Plan and Vertical Irregularit...IRJET Journal
ย
This document summarizes a research study on the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures with plan and vertical irregularities, with and without masonry infill walls. The study used finite element software to model and analyze a 9-story RC building in a high seismic zone considering different structural configurations. Results from equivalent static, response spectrum, and pushover analyses were compared in terms of base shear, lateral displacement, story drift, and performance point. It was found that lateral displacement and story drift were higher for bare frames compared to infilled frames, while base shear was lower for bare frames. Irregular buildings also experienced higher displacement and drift than regular buildings. The goal of the study was to better understand how different structural
The document discusses statically determinate and indeterminate structures. A determinate structure is one where reactions and internal forces can be determined through static equilibrium equations alone. An indeterminate structure has more unknown reactions or internal forces than equations. The degree of static indeterminacy is the number of redundant unknowns. Continuous beams are internally determinate but can be externally indeterminate. The example beam has a degree of indeterminacy of 1.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
ย
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
ย
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
โข On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
โข Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
โข As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
peopleโs freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
โข He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS โ 1
UNIT โ 1
1. Name any two force methods to analyze the statically indeterminate
structures.
๏ Column analogy method
๏ Flexibility matrix method
๏ Method of consistent deformation
๏ Theorem of least work
2. Write the general steps of the consistent deformation method.
๏ By removing the restraint in the direction of redundant forces,
released structure (which is a determinate structure) is obtained.
๏ In this released structure, displacements are obtained in the direction
of the redundant forces.
๏ Then the displacement due to each redundant force is obtained and the
conditions of displacement compatibility are imposed to get additional
equations.
๏ Solution for these equations gives the values of redundant forces.
๏ Then the released structure subjected to these known forces gives the
forces and moments in the structure.
3. Give example of beams of one degree static indeterminacy.

For this case, ๐ = 4 ๐๐๐ ๐ = 3
โด ๐ธ = 4 โ 3 = 1
4. Define degree of kinematic indeterminacy (or) Degree Of Freedom.
It is defined as the least no of independent displacements required to
define the deformed shape of a structure. There are two types of DOF
๏ Joint type DOF
๏ Nodal type DOF
5. Differentiate external redundancy and internal redundancy.
In pin jointed frames, redundancy caused by too many members is
called internal redundancy. Then there is external redundancy caused by too
many supports. When we introduce additional supports/members, we
generally ensure more safety and more work (in analysis).
6. Why to provide redundant members?
๏ To maintain alignment of two members during construction
๏ To increase stability during construction
๏ To maintain stability during loading (Ex: to prevent buckling of
compression members)
๏ To provide support if the applied loading is changed
๏ To act as backup members in case some members fail or require
strengthening
๏ Analysis is difficult but possible

7. What are the different methods used to analyze indeterminate
structures?
๏ Finite element method
๏ Flexibility matrix method
๏ Stiffness matrix method
8. What are statically indeterminate structures? Give example.
If the conditions of statics i.e., ฮฃH=0, ฮฃV=0 and ฮฃM=0 alone are not
sufficient to find either external reactions or internal forces in a structure, the
structure is called a statically indeterminate structure.
9. Define consistent deformation method.
This method is used for the analysis of indeterminate structure. This
method is suitable when the number of unknown is one or two. When the
number of unknown becomes more, it is a lengthy method.
10.Define primary structure.
A structure formed by the removing the excess or redundant restraints
from an Indeterminate structure making it statically determinate is called
primary structure. This is required for solving indeterminate structures by
flexibility matrix method.

๏ Three dimensional space frame (3D frame)
๐ = (6๐ + ๐) โ 6๐
Where,
m = number of members
r = number of reactions
j = number of joints
12.What is the effect of temperature on the members of a statically
determinate plane truss?
In determinate structures temperature changes do not create any
internal stresses. The changes in lengths of members may result in
displacement of joints. But these would not result in internal stresses or
changes in external reactions.
13.Define internal and external indeterminancy.
Internal indeterminacy (I.I) is the excess no of internal forces present
in a member that make a structure indeterminate.
5. P a g e | 176

External indeterminacy (E.I) is the excess no of external reactions in
the member that make a structure indeterminate.
Indeterminacy (i) = I.I + E.I
E.I = r โ e; I.I = i โ EI
Where,
r = no of support reactions and
e = equilibrium conditions
e = 3 (plane frames) and e = 6 (space frames)
14.What are the requirements to be satisfied while analyzing a structure?
๏ Equilibrium condition
๏ Compatibility condition
๏ Force displacement condition
15.Define degree of indeterminacy.
The excess number of reactions take make a structure indeterminate is
called degree of indeterminancy. Indeterminancy is also called degree of
redundancy.
Indeterminancy consists of internal and external indeterminancies. It
is denoted by the symbol โiโ.
Degree of redundancy (i) = I.I + E.I

UNIT โ 2
1. Distinguish between plane truss and plane frame.
Plane frames are two-dimensional structures constructed with straight
elements connected together by rigid and/or hinged connections. Frames are
subjected to loads and reactions that lie in the plane of the structure.
7. P a g e | 178
Prepared by R.Vijayakumar, B.Tech (CIVIL), CCET, Puducherry
If all the members of a truss and the applied loads lie in a single plane,
the truss is called a plane truss.
2. What is meant by cambering technique in structures?
Cambering is a technique applied on site, in which a slight upward
curve is made in the structure/beam during construction, so that it will
straighten out and attain the straight shape during loading. This will
considerably reduce the downward deflection that may occur at later stages.
3. Give the procedure for unit load method.
๏ Find the forces P1, P2, โฆโฆ. in all the members due to external loads
๏ Remove the external loads and apply the unit vertical point load at
the joint if the vertical deflection is required and find the stress
๏ Apply the equation for vertical and horizontal deflection
4. What are the assumptions made in unit load method?
๏ The external & internal forces are in equilibrium
๏ Supports are rigid and no movement is possible
๏ The materials are strained well within the elastic limit
5. Why is it necessary to compute deflections in structures?
Computation of deflection of structures is necessary for the following
reasons:
๏ If the deflection of a structure is more than the permissible, the
structure will not look aesthetic and will cause psychological upsetting
of the occupants.
8. P a g e | 179

๏ Excessive deflection may cause cracking in the materials attached to
the structure. For example, if the deflection of a floor beam is
excessive, the floor finishes and partition walls supported on the beam
may get cracked and unserviceable.
6. Define unit load method.

STRUCTURE
1. The joints permit change of
angle Between connected
members.
The members connected at a
rigid joint will maintain the angle
between them even under
deformation due to loads.
2. The joints are incapable of
transferring Any moment to the
connected members and vice-
versa.
Members can transmit both
forces and Moments between
themselves through the joint.
3. The pins transmit forces
between Connected members by
developing shear.
Provision of rigid joints normally
increases the redundancy of the
structures.
8. What are the conditions of equilibrium?
The three conditions of equilibrium are the sum of horizontal forces,
vertical forces and moments at any joint should be equal to zero.

9. Define trussed beam.
A beam strengthened by providing ties and struts is known as Trussed
Beams.
10.Define โdeckโ and โthroughโ type truss.
A deck type is truss is one in which the road is at the top chord
level of the trusses. We would not see the trusses when we ride on the
road way.
A through type truss is one in which the road is at the bottom chord
level of the trusses. When we travel on the road way, we would see the web
members of the trusses on our left and right. That gives us the impression
that we are going` throughโ the bridge.
11.What is meant by lack of fit in a truss?
One or more members in a pin jointed statically indeterminate frame
may be a little shorter or longer than what is required. Such members will
have to be forced in place during the assembling. These are called members
having Lack of fit. Internal forces can develop in a redundant frame
(without external loads) due to lack of fit.

Support sinks mostly due to soil settlement. Rotation of โfixedโ ends
can happen either because of soil settlement or upheaval of horizontal or
inclined fixed ends. Fixed end moments induced in beam ends because of
settlement or rotation of supports.
15.What is a rigid joint?
The members connected at a rigid joint will maintain the angle
between them even under deformation due to loads. Members can transmit
both forces and moments between themselves through the joint. Provision
of rigid joints normally increases the redundancy of the structures.
16.Write down the assumptions made in portal method.

๏ Moment distribution method
๏ Slope deflection method
19.Differentiate symmetry and anti-symmetry frames.
SYMMETRY FRAME ANTI-SYMMETRY FRAME
For symmetric loading, Symmetric
quantities like bending moment,
displacements are symmetrical about
the centroidal vertical axis.
For anti-symmetric loading,
Symmetric quantities like bending
moment, displacements are zero at
the point of centroidal vertical axis.
Anti-symmetric quantities like slope
and shear force are zero at the point
of centroidal vertical axis.
Anti-symmetric quantities like slope
and shear force are distributed about
the centroidal vertical axis.
20.What is meant by thermal stress?
Thermal stresses are stresses developed in a structure/member due to
change in temperature. Normally, determinate structures do not develop
thermal stresses. They can absorb changes in lengths and consequent
displacements without developing stresses.

21.Write any two important assumptions made in the analysis of trusses?
๏ The frame is a perfect frame
๏ The frame carries load at the joints
๏ All the members are pin-joined
22.Differentiate perfect and imperfect trusses?
The frame which is composed of such members, which are just
sufficient to keep the frame in equilibrium, when the frame is supporting an
external load, is known as perfect frame. Hence for a perfect frame, the
number of joints and number of members are given by, ๐ = 2๐ โ 3
A frame in which number of members and number of joints are not
given by ๐ = 2๐ โ 3 is known as imperfect frame. This means that number
of members in an imperfect frame will be either more or less than 2๐ โ 3
23.Write the difference between deficient and redundant frames?
If the number of members in a frame are less than (2๐ โ 3), then the
frame is known as deficient frame.
If the number of members in a frame are more than (2๐ โ 3), then the
frame is known as redundant frame.
UNIT โ 3
1. What are the assumptions made in slope deflection method?

Kinematic indeterminacy
19. P a g e | 190

๏ The solution of simultaneous equation makes the method tedious for

22.Why slope-deflection method is called a โdisplacement methodโ?
In slope-deflection method, displacements (like slopes and
displacements) are treated as unknowns and hence the method is a
โdisplacement methodโ.
23.Define Flexural rigidity of beams.
The product of youngโs modulus (E) and moment of inertia (I) is
called Flexural Rigidity (EI) of Beams. The unit is Nmm2

If the flexural Rigidity (EI) is constant over the uniform section, it is
called Constant strength beam.
25.Define continuous beam.
A Continuous beam is one, which is supported on more than two
supports. For usual loading on the beam hogging (- ive) moments causing
convexity upwards at the supports and sagging (+ ive) moments causing
concavity upwards occur at mid span.
26.What are the advantages of continuous beam over simply supported
beam?
๏ The maximum bending moment in case of continuous beam is much
less than in case of simply supported beam of same span carrying
same loads.
20. P a g e | 191

๏ In case of continuous beam, the average bending moment is lesser and
hence lighter materials of construction can be used to resist the
bending moment.
UNIT โ 4
1. Explain moment distribution method (Hardy cross method).
This method is first introduced by Professor Hardy Cross in 1932. It
is widely used for the analysis of indeterminate structures. It uses an
iterative technique. The method employs a few basic concepts and a few
specialized terms such as fixed end moments, relative stiffness, carry over,
distribution factor. In this method, all the members of the structure are first
assumed to be fixed in position and fixed end moments due to external loads
are obtained.
2. Define distribution factor.
When several members meet at a joint and a moment is applied at the
joint to produce rotation without translation of the members, the moment is
distributed among all the members meeting at that joint proportionate to
their stiffness.

3. Define carry over factor.
A moment applied at the hinged end B โcarries overโ to the fixed end
A, a moment equal to half the amount of applied moment and of the same
rotational sense. C.O =0.5
4. What is the difference between absolute and relative stiffness?
Absolute stiffness is represented in terms of E, I and l, such as 4EI / l.
Relative stiffness is represented in terms of โIโ and โlโ, omitting the
constant E. Relative stiffness is the ratio of stiffness to two or more
members at a joint.
5. In a member AB, if a moment of -10kN.m is applied at A, what is the
moment carried over to B?
Carry over moment = Half of the applied moment
โด Carry over moment to B = -10/2 = -5 kN.m
6. Define Stiffness factor.
It is the moment required to rotate the end while acting on it
through a unit rotation, without translation of the far end being

7. Define carry over moment.
It is defined as the moment induced at the fixed end of the beam by
the action of a moment applied at the other end, which is hinged. Carry over
moment is the same nature of the applied moment.
8. What is the sum of distribution factors at a joint?
Sum of distribution factors at a joint = 1.
9. What is the moment at a hinged end of a simple beam?
Moment at the hinged end of a simple beam is zero.
10.A rigid frame is having totally 10 joints including support joints. Out of
slope-deflection and moment distribution methods, which method would
you prefer for analysis? Why?
Moment distribution method is preferable.
If we use slope-deflection method, there would be 10 (or more)
unknown displacements and an equal number of equilibrium equations. In
addition, there would be 2 unknown support moments per span and the same
number of slope-deflection equations. Solving them is difficult.
11.What are the limitations of moment distribution method?
๏ This method is eminently suited to analyze continuous beams including
non-prismatic members but it presents some difficulties when applied to
rigid frames, especially when frames are subjected to side sway
๏ Unsymmetrical frames have to be analyzed more than once to obtain
FM (fixed moments) in the structures
๏ This method cannot be applied to structures with intermediate hinges

which instead of distributing entire moment in successive steps, only
the rotation contributions are distributed
๏ Basic unknown like displacements which are not found directly
4. What are the advantages of Kaniโs method?
๏ Hardy Cross method distributed only the unbalanced moments at joints,
whereas Kaniโs method distributes the total joint moment at any stage of
iteration
๏ The more significant feature of Kaniโs method is that the process is self-
corrective. Any error at any stage of iteration is corrected in subsequent
steps

๏ Framed structures are rarely symmetric and subjected to side sway,
hence Kaniโs method is best and much simpler than other methods like
moment distribution method and slope displacement method
5. State Miller-Breslau principle.
Miller-Breslau principle states that, if we want to sketch the influence
line for any force quantity like thrust, shear, reaction, support moment or
bending moment in a structure,
๏ We remove from the structure the resistant to that force quantity
๏ We apply on the remaining structure a unit displacement
corresponding to that force quantity.
The resulting displacements in the structure are the influence line
ordinates sought.

8. Brief about Kaniโs method of analysis.
Kaniโs method of analyzing indeterminate structures, particularly,
building frames was developed in Germany in the year 1947 by Dr. Gasper
Kani. Like moment distribution it is a method of solving slope deflection
equations by an iterative method. Hence, this will fall under the category of
stiffness method wherein the level of difficulty would be decided by the
degrees of freedom (and not the degree of redundancy).
9. What are the basic principles of compatibility?
Compatibility is defined as the continuity condition on the
displacements of the structure after external loads are applied to the
structure.
10.Define Kaniโs method and how it is better than MDM.
Kaniโs method is similar to the MDM in that both these methods use
Gauss Seidel iteration procedure to solve the slope deflection equations,
without explicitly writing them down. However the difference between
Kaniโs method and the MDM is that Kaniโs method iterates the member end
moments themselves rather than iterating their increment Kaniโs method
essentially consists of a single simple numerical operation performed
repeatedly at the joints of a structure, in a chosen sequence.
11.Write the procedure for Kaniโs method.
While solving structures by this method the following steps may be
kept in mind.
๏ Compute all fixed end moments
