UNIT II INDETERMINATE BEAMS
Concept of Analysis — Propped cantilever and fixed beams — fixed end moments and reactions — sinking and rotation of supports — Theorem of three moments — analysis of continuous beams — shear force and bending moment diagrams.
UNIT III COLUMNS AND CYLINDERS
Euler?s column theory — critical load for prismatic columns with different end conditions — Effective length — limitations — Rankine-Gordon formula — Eccentrically loaded columns — middle third rule — core of a section — Thin cylindrical and spherical shells — stresses and change in dimensions -Thick cylinders — Compound cylinders — shrinking on stresses.
