Principles of Structural Design: Shear Force, Bending Moment, Deflection and Safety Compliance

This report covers the principles of structural design including shear force, bending moment, deflection and safety compliance. It includes detailed calculations and diagrams for various beam configurations. The report also discusses the statutory requirements for ensuring safety in structural designs and the factor of safety. Additionally, it covers the impact of deflection on structural stability and the different types of external supports for beams made of steel and RCC.
