1.1 INTRODUCTION TO PLASTIC ANALYSIS AND LIMIT STATE DESIGN
PLASTIC ANALYSIS: ANALYSIS OF STEEL STRUCTURES – METHODS –
ELASTIC, PLASTIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND ADVANCED METHOD OF
ANALYSIS BASED ON IS:800 – 2007 – IDEALIZED STRESS VS STRAIN
CURVE FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL – REQUIREMENTS AND
ASSUMPTIONS OF PLASTIC METHOD OF ANALYSIS – FORMATION OF
PLASTIC HINGES IN FLEXURAL MEMBERS – PLASTIC MOMENT OF
RESISTANCE AND PLASTIC MODULUS OF SECTIONS – SHAPE FACTORS
OF RECTANGULAR / CIRCULAR / I /T – SECTIONS – COLLAPSE LOAD
– DETERMINATION OF COLLAPSE LOADS FOR CANTILEVER , SIMPLY
SUPPORTED AND FIXED BEAMS BY ANY (STATICALLY OR KINEMATICAL
METHOD– PROBLEMS.
LIMIT STATE DESIGN : ADVANTAGES OF LIMIT STATE DESIGN OF STEEL
STRUCTURES – BASIS FOR DESIGN – CLASSIFICATION OF LIMIT
STATES – CHARACTERISTIC AND DESIGN ACTIONS – ULTIMATE AND
DESIGN STRENGTHS – PARTIAL SAFETY FACTORS FOR LOADS AND
MATERIALS – DESIGN REQUIREMENTS – STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS :
STABILITY , FATIGUE AND PLASTIC COLLAPSE – SERVICE ABILITY
REQUIREMENTS : DEFLECTION LIMITS, VIBRATION , DURABILITY AND
FIRE RESISTANCE –GEOMETRICAL PROPERTIES OF GROSS AND
EFFECTIVE CROSS SECTIONS – CLASSIFICATION OF CROSS SECTIONS
AS PER IS:800-2007
