Theory of structure
2010-2011
Note:- answer six questions only.10 marks for each one

Q1:- draw the I.L for the force in member IH of the bridge truss. Compute
the maximum live force that can be developed in this member due to a
truck having the wheels loads shown. Assume the truck can travel in either
direction along the center of the deck, so that half its load is transferred to
each of the two side trusses

Q2:- using unit load method

determine vertical deflection at D ,
EA for axial members is 105 kN,and
EI for flexural members is 104kN.m2

Q3:- using conjugate beam theory,

analyze the beam shown in figure, 10 kN/m
and then draw shear force and
bending moment diagrams for it .
