Syllabus – Fourth Semester

STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND SYSTEMS – IV

Course Code: ARC2403 Credit Units: 02

Course Objective:
To understand rational basis of the design of reinforced concrete members and structures through
advanced materials and structural behavior. Enable students to undertake problems, identify, formulate
and solve the critical thought, rational inquiry and self-directed learning.
Course Contents:
Module I: Moment distribution methods
Absolute and relative stiffness of members, Distribution factor, analysis of continuous beams and simple
portal frames (Non- Sway type only).
Module II: Three Moment Theorem.
Module III: Cement and Aggregate
Cement- Definition, Ingredients, Compounds, Properties, Hydration, Types and applications.
Aggregate- Classification, Sp. Gravity, Bulk density, moisture contents, bulking of fine aggregates,
fineness modulus, Practical size distribution.
Module IV: Concrete
Definition, Advantages/ disadvantages, relevant IS codes, workability, Compressive strength, Flexural
strength, factors affecting strength, nominal and designed mix concrete.
Module V: Introduction to Working stress method, Limit state method and Ultimate load method
of design
Analysis of Singly, doubly and Flanged beams for flexure and shear.
