Beam-Column Deflection and Bending

NPTEL

 width=This course covers the comprehensive understanding of beam-column deflection and bending under various load conditions. It begins with the general expression of the elastic curve when a transverse load is applied at a variable distance from one end of the beam-column, along with the axial load. The course then extends to cases of several lateral loads and continuous lateral load acting on the compression beam. It provides a detailed explanation of how to derive the expressions for elastic curve, deflection, and slope. For instance, when a beam-column undergoes antisymmetric buckling, the rotational restraint offered by the beam is 6EI by L. The course also delves into the stability analysis of a continuous beam-column and the calculation of the critical load. It concludes with the calculation of the critical load of a hinged bar.
