deflection of beams and frames.
Centre of Gravity
‘The Centre of gravity isa theoretical point in the body where the body's total weight is thought to
be concentrated. In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of gravity is identical to the centre of
mass. Yet, the two points do not always coincide.
For simple shaped object, the centre of gravity can be determined by the following:
* When we balance an object with the help of a string or an edge, the point at which the
object balances is the centre of gravity.
Moment of Inertia
Moment of inertia is defined as the quantity expressed by the body resisting angular acceleration
hich is the sum of the product of the mass of every particle with its square of a distance from the
axis of rotation. Or in more simple terms, it can be described as a quantity that decides the amount
of torque needed for a specific angular acceleration in a rotational axis. Moment of Inertia is also
known as the angular mass or rotational inertia. The SI unit of moment of inertia is kg m*,
Moment of inertia is usually specified with respect to a chosen axis of rotation. It mainly depends
on the distribution of mass around an axis of rotation. MOI varies depending on the axis that is
chosen,
In General form Moment of Inertia is expressed as I =m » 7
where,
m= Sum of the product of the mass.

Stresses and Strains
Stress
Stress is defined as force per unit area within materials that arises from extemally applied forces,
‘uneven heating, or permanent deformation and that permits an accurate description and prediction
of elastic, plastic, and fluid behaviour.
Stress is given by the following formula:
F
ome
a
where, ois the stress applied, Fis the force applied and A is the area of the force application.
The unit of stress is N/m’.
The types of stress are:
Tensile Stress
© Compressive Stress
Strain
‘Strain is the amount of deformation experienced by the body in the direction of force applied,
divided by the initial dimensions of the body.
The following equation gives the relation for deformation in terms of the length of a solid:
wl‘where, € is the strain due to the stress applied, 81 is the change in length and L is the original
length of the material
The strain is a dimensionless quantity as it just defines the relative change in shape.
The types of stress are:
Tensile Strain
© Compressive Strain
Stress-Strain Curve
‘The material's stress-strain curve gives its stress-strain relationship. In a stress-strain curve, the
stress and its corresponding strain values are plotted. An example of a stress-strain curve is given
below:
The different regions in the stress-strain diagram are:
1. Proportional Limit: Itis the region in the stress-strain curve that obeys Hooke’s Law. In
this limit, the stress-strain ratio gives us @ proportionality constant known as Young’s
modulus. The point OA in the graph represents the proportional limit
2. Elastic Limit: It is the point in the graph up to which the material returns to its original
position when the load acting on itis completely ren

doesn’t retum to its original position, and a plastic deformation starts to appear init.
3. Wield Points The yield point is defined as the point at which the material stars to defen
plastically. After the yield point is passed, permanent plastic deformation occurs. There are4, Ultimate Stress Point: It is a point that represents the maximum stress that a material can
endure before failure, Beyond this point, failure occurs
5. Fracture or Breaking Point: It is the point in the stress-strain curve at which the failure
of the material takes place.
‘Theory of Torsion and Flexure
Theory of Torsion
A shaft is a rotating part of a machine which transmits power from one point to another. When a
force acts tangentially at a point on the surface of the shaft it rotates or twists. The twisting is due
to the moment of a tangential force at the axis of rotation. The shaft is said to be in torsion.
‘The study of behaviour of the shaft in torsion without taking into account bending moment due to
self-weight or other longitudinal forces known as pure torsion. Due to torsion shearing stress is
induced in the material of the shaft. Every point in the material of the shaft is subjected to pure
shear.
‘The assumptions made in the Theory of Pure Torsion or made in deriving the equation for pure
torsion are as follows:
© The material is homogeneous and isotropic
© Hooke's law is obeyed by the material.
© The shaft is circular in section.
© The cross-section of the shaft remains uniform throughout,
‘© The shaft is subjected to pure torque only.
© The shat is not subjected to any initial torque.
© The transverse sections which were plane before application of torque remain plane even
after application of torque.

Theory of Flexure
In the process of analysis and design of R.C.C sections, there are some assumptions which we use
to make the process simple.
Some basic assumptions are
‘# Plane sections before bending remain plane even after bending.
The tensile strength of concrete is neglected
© The stress strain curve for concrete and steel both are kmown prior to the analysis and
design.
¢ Ata particular level the strain is equal in both conerete and steel
‘¢ The value of E is the same in both tension and compression zone.
In the case of pure bending the value of shear force is zero in the complete domain and the value
of bending moment is uniform at every cross section of the beam section,
Let us consider an example where a beam is initially in an unstressed position as shown in figure.
‘Now when a uniform bending moment is applied along the length of the beam, then the beam will
‘bend. When the beam bends the top surface of the beam is in tension and the bottom surface is in
compression. So it is quite evident that at some mid surface the value of stress will be zero ive.,
neutral axis, So we assume these assumptions so as to eliminate the possibility of twisting of the
‘beam.‘Analysis of beams and frames:
Bending Moment
Bending moment is the resistance against the rotation of a member caused by applying load on the
structure to the distance from the reference point. The applied moment depends on intensity of the
load, nature of the load and distance from the reference point and support type cause the effect on
ending moment,
Bending moment is classified in two terms as positive and negative, When all loads defleet the
structure downward it is known as a positive bending moment or sagging moment. When all loads
deflect the structure in upward direction it is known as negative bending moment or hogging
bending moment.

Deflection of beams is the transverse deformation that occurs due tothe shear force and bending
moment. The deflection of beams due tothe shear force is insignificant compared tothe deflection
of beams due to the bending moment. Therefore, the deflection of beams due to shear force is
ignored.

Linear measurement techniques
Distance measurement is generally regarded as the most fundamental of ‘all surveying
observations. In traditional ground surveys, even though many angles may be read. the length of
at least one line must be measured to supplement the angles in locating points. In plane surveying,
the distance between two points means the horizontal distaice. Tf the points are at different
clevations, the distance is the horizontal length between vertical lines at the points.
Two principles of measuring the distance
Lit takes two pits to form a line

Levelling
Levelling isthe general term applied to any of the various processes by which elevations of points
or differences in elevation are determined. It is a vital operation in producing necessary data for
‘mapping, engineering design, and construction, Levelling results are used to:

The method of computation of area depends upon the shape of the boundary of the tract and
accuracy required. The area of the tract of the Jand is computed from its plan which may be
‘enclosed by straight, irregular or combination of straight and imegular boundaries. When the
boundaries are straight the area is determined by subdividing the plan into simple geometrical
figures such as triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, ete. For imegular boundaries, they are replaced by
short straight boundaries, and the areas computed using approximate methods or Planimeter when
the boundaries are very irregular. Standard expressions as given belCIw are available for the areas
of straight figures.
Area of triangle = ab sin. C
in which C is the ineluded angle between the sides a and b,
Area of Trapezium = =n,
in which # and b are the parallel sides separated by perpendicular distance h.
Area Enclosed by Irregular Boundaries
© Trapezoidal Rule
In trapezoidal rule, the area is divided into a mumber of trapezoids, boundaries being assumed to
bbe straight between pairs of offsets. The area of each trapezoid is determined and added together
to derive the whole area. If there are n offsets at equal interval of then the total area isA= df 28 034 05+ ens Ont]
While using the trapezoidal rule, the end ordinates must be considered even if they happen to be
zer0,
© Simpson's Rule
In Simpson's rule it is assumed that the irregular boundary is made up of parabolic ares. The areas
of the successive pairs of intercepts are added together to get the total area.

Since pairs of intercepts are taken, it will be evident that the mumber of intercepts n is even. If is
odd then the first or last intercept is treated as a trapezoid,
Volume
Earthwork operations involve the determination of volumes of material that is to be excavated in
an engineering project to bring the ground surface to a predetermined grade. Volumes can be
determined via cross-sections, spot levels or gontour. It is convenient to determine the volume
from 'standard-type' cross-sections, provided that the original ground surface is reasonably uniform
in respect ofthe cross-fall,or Gradient transverse to the longitudinal centre line. Having computed
the cross-sections at given intervals of chainage along the centre line by standard expressions for
various cross-sections, or by planimeter, te., volumes of cut in the ease of excavation or volumes
of fill in the case of embankment, can be determined using end-area rule or prismoidal rule which
are analogous to the trapezoidal rule and Simpson's rule, respectively. If the cross-sections are
considered to be apart by distance d then by end-areas rule and prismoidal rule the volume is given
by the following formulae:

Estimation and Specification
Estimating is the technique of calculating or computing the various quantities and the expected
Expenditure to be incurred on a particular work or project. In case the funds available are less than
the estimated cost the work is done in part or by reducing it or specifications are altered, the
following requirements are necessary for preparing an estimate,
41) Drawings like plan, elevation and sections of important points
) Detailed specifications about workmanship & properties of materials ete.
¢) Standard schedule of rates of the current vear:
€‘Needs of Estimating and Costing
1. Estimates give an idea of the cost of the work and hence its feasibility can be determined
.¢ whether the project could be taken up within the funds available or not.
Estimate gives an idea of time required for the completion of the work.
Estimates are required to invite the tenders and Quotations and to arrange contracts
Estimation is also required to control the expenditure during the execution of work,
Estimates decide whether the proposed plan matches the funds available or hot
Methods of Estimating
Estimating involves the following operations
1. Preparing a detailed Estimate.
2. Calculating the rate of each unit of work
3. Preparing abstract of estimate
Data required to prepare Estimation
1. Drawings i plans. elevations, sections ete
2. Specifications
3. Rates.
Methods of taking out Quantities in Estimating
The quantities like earth work, foundation concrete, brickwork in plinth and super structure ete.,
can be workout by any 6f following two methods:
) Long wall - short wall method
In this method, the wall along the length of the room is considered to be a long wall while
‘the-wall perpendicular to the Long wall is said to be a short wall. To get the length of a long
swall or short wall, calculate first the centre line lengths of individual walls. Then the length
of the long wall, (out to out) may be calculated after adding half breadth at each end to its
centre line length. Thus the length of the short wall is measured into and may be found by
deducting half breadth from its centre line length at each end. The length of the long wall
‘usually decreases from earth work to brick work in superstructure while the short wall
increases. These lensths are maltinlied by breadth and deoth to vet anantities.b) Centre line method.
This method is suitable for walls of similar cross sections. Here the total centre line length
is multiplied by breadth and depth of respective item to get the total quantity at a time.
When eross walls or partitions or verandah walls join with mainall, the centre line length
gets reduced by half of breadth for cach junction. such junctions or joints are:studied
carefully while calculating total centre line length. The estimates prepared by this method
are most accurate and quick
©) Partly centre line and short wall method
This method is adopted when the extemal (je. all around the building) wall is of one
thickness and the internal walls have different thicknesses. In stich cases, the centre line
method is applied to extemal walls and the long wall-short wall method is used to internal
walls. This method suits different thickness walls. and different levels of foundations.
Because of this reason, all Engineering departments are practising this method.
Rate Analysis
In order to determine the rate of a particular item, the factors affecting the rate of that item are
studied carefully and then finally a rate is decided for that item. This process of determining the
rates of an item is termed as analysis of rates or rate analysis. The rates of particular items of work
depend on the following”
1, Specifications of works and material about their quality, proportion and constructional
operation method.
2, Quantity of materials and their costs.
3. Costof labourers and their wages.
4, Location of site of work and the distances from source and conveyance charges.
5. Overhead and establishment charges
6. Profit
Specification
Specification is defined as a statement of a particular. The objects of specification are as follows: |To provide written instructions limiting and describe in detail the construction work
to be undertaken,
To describe construction work to be done, the quality of mater
the labour to be employed
To explain the method of construction to be adopted, method of tests, inspection to
bbe done, ee.
s to be used and
Importance of specification
‘The cost of a unt quality of work is govemed by its specification.
Specification is an essential contract document and is required for court cases.
To verify and check the strength of materials for a work involved in a project.
To specify the equipment and plants to be engaged for a work and thus enables to
procure or hire them beforehand
Tendering without specification of work is incomplete, baseless and invalid
Any changes in specification changes the tendered rates.
To procure materials required forthe project as well as the owner can check the
quality of materials confirming the specification, avoiding dispute with the
contractor.
In the event of confliet betwee the specification and drawings, specification shall
govemete,
