Preamble: The course enables the students to analyse various types of simple structures
using appropriate methods and tools. It introduces the applications of principles of mechanics
of solids to determine stress resultants in statically determinate and indeterminate structures.
Specific cases of cables, suspension bridges and arches are also discussed at length. The
course trains the students to develop mathematical models and helps to sharpen their
analytical skills. After this course students will be able to analyse structures subjected to
moving loads as well.
