Rationale and Objective:
          The Subject Mechanics of Structure forms a core subject for developing the concepts required in the design of various structures. The application of theoretical principles to practical field situation is essential. Integration of the principles to field problems would help the students in understanding the concepts.
                Students will be able to:-
-          know various elements of structures
-          understand the basic principles
-          analyse a given problems
Apply the basic principles in the problems
