This syllabus walk-through for Design of Steel Structures (BCV701) is original VTUHub writing. Credits on this card: 3. Programme: Civil. Term: 7th Semester. Scheme: 2022.
We do not host the official scheme PDF. Download that from vtu.ac.in and match the subject code on your admission ticket before you trust any module title on this page.
The 2022 core for DSS is commonly taught as 5 modules: Unit 1 Introduction and fundamentals; Unit 2 Core methods; Unit 3 Analysis and design; Unit 4 Advanced topics; Unit 5 Applications.
CIE work for a theory paper is usually internals plus assignments; a lab companion, if any, is marked separately. DSS is listed here as theory without a paired lab on this card.
Elective baskets and college-specific experiments do not always appear in a generic Civil list. If the code on your ticket is not BCV701, you are on the wrong page.
