Semester : 3I
Course Title: Mechanics of Structure
(MOS)
course code : 22303
3. RATIONALE
• Design and analysis of structure and its components,
needs the basic understanding and application of
mechanical properties of material and their behavior
under different loading and stress conditions.
• Concepts and principles of structural analysis shall be well
understood by students, which is important for design of
reinforced cement concrete and steel structures and the
same has been covered in this course.
• Analysis of determinate structure under action of
transverse loading along with analysis of members under
direct loading will also be studied in this course .

4. • The approach of teaching the course shall focus on
development of students analytical and critical
thinking while solving structural problems.
• The experiments expected to be conducted in
laboratory will integrate knowledge and required skills
as regards the structural behavior of components and
material.
