313349-Strength of Materials
I. RATIONALE
All civil & mechanical engineering components are subjected to different types of loads and behave in a specific
way. Students can able to understand & analyze various types of loads, stresses & strains with regards to the
structural behavior of components and materials. This course is a prerequisite for understanding elastic behavior of
different engineering materials, structural analysis, machine design, principles and the strengths of various
structural elements used in civil & mechanical industries.
CO1 - Calculate the M.I. of the given object using relevant formulae & methods.
CO2 - Analyze the structural behavior of the given structural components under various loading conditions.
CO3 - Draw SFD and BMD for the given structural element under given loading conditions.
CO4 - Determine the bending and shear stresses in beams under different loading conditions
CO5 - Analyze the direct & bending stresses in the structural members under eccentric loading conditions.
1. FA-TH represents average of two class tests of 30 marks each conducted during the semester.
2. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in FA-PR of any course then the candidate shall be
declared as "Detained" in that semester.
3. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in SLA of any course then the candidate shall be
declared as fail and will have to repeat and resubmit SLA work.
4. Notional Learning hours for the semester are (CL+LL+TL+SL)hrs.* 15 Weeks
5. 1 credit is equivalent to 30 Notional hrs.
6. * Self learning hours shall not be reflected in the Time Table.
7. * Self learning includes micro project / assignment / other activities.
Micro project
Collect the information of Indian Knowledge System (IKS) given in different units.
Prepare charts of maximum bending moment and shear force values in standard beams.
Two Numericals on Chimneys (of rectangular and circular cross section) subjected to wind pressure & also draw
stress distribution diagram at base of it.
Note :
Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
If the course does not have associated SLA component, above suggestive listings is applicable to Tutorials
and maybe considered for FA-PR evaluations.
X. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGIES/TOOLS
Two-unit tests of 30 marks each will be conducted and average of two-unit tests considered. • For formative
assessment of laboratory learning 25 marks • Each practical will be assessed considering appropriate % weightage to
process and product and other instructions of assessment.
Teachers are requested to check the creative common license status/financial implications of the suggested
online educational resources before use by the students
