21CV582 Software Applications syllabus for CV

Categorization of structures based on number of dimensions, types of member connectivity, type of elements (1D truss/beam element, 2D plane stress/plane strain, and plate elements, 3D solid elements), structure degrees of freedom, boundary conditions, stiffness matrix, load vector, displacements, stiffness equation, degree of freedom numbering for a structure.

Global or structure coordinate system, Local or element coordinate system, element degrees of freedom, Element forces and Material properties for different types of elements.

Modeling 2D and 3D skeletal structures (truss and frame) in software:

Node coordinates, member connectivity, supports. Representing slabs using rigid diaphragms and/or master and slave nodes.

Nodal loads and element loads, Independent load cases, Load combinations, self weight of structural elements, calculation and verification of gravity loads including self weight

Analysis and interpretation of results by studying support reactions, bending moment and shear force diagrams of elements.

Identifying critical cross-sections for design of beam and column elements, Grouping of elements based on structural behaviour and similarity of geometry and member design forces

Modelling 2D plane trusses with Indian Standard steel sections, analysis for gravity and wind loads as per Indian Standard codes, design check for selected cross-section as per IS 800:2007, identifying failed elements and revising cross-section to make element safe.

Modelling simple 3D frame structures up to 4 storeys with reinforced concrete cross-sections, analysis for gravity and wind loads as per Indian Standard codes, verification of weight of building by hand calculation with reactions obtained from analysis, load combinations, interpretation of results, grouping of elements, design of typical elements and foundation as per IS 456:2000.

Modelling steel gabled frames for industrial structures with Indian Standard steel sections, analysis for gravity and wind loads as per Indian Standard codes, design check for selected cross-section as per IS 800:2007, identifying failed elements and revising cross-section to make element safe.

Course outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

1. Determine the forces in the truss members

2. Analyse and design the truss

3. Analyse and design industrial structures

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

• The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
• The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50).
• A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% ( 18 Marks out of 50)in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together

Continuous internal Examination (CIE)

Three Tests (preferably in MCQ pattern with 20 questions) each of 20 Marks (duration 01 hour)

1. First test at the end of 5th week of the semester

2. Second test at the end of the 10th week of the semester

3. Third test at the end of the 15th week of the semester

Two assignments each of 10 Marks

1. First assignment at the end of 4th week of the semester

2. Second assignment at the end of 9th week of the semester

Quiz/Group discussion/Seminar, any two of three suitably planned to attain the COs and POs for 20 Marks (duration 01 hours)

The sum of total marks of three tests, two assignments, and quiz /seminar/ group discussion will be out of 100 marks and shall be scaled down to 50 marks

Semester End Examinations (SEE)

• SEE paper shall be set for 50 questions, each of 01 mark.
• The pattern of the question paper is MCQ (multiple choice questions).
• The time allotted for SEE is 01 hour. The student has to secure minimum of 35% of the maximum marks meant for SEE.
