NOTE: Answer any five full questions.

1. a) List the assum ptions of Winkler- Bach formula applied to curved beams

b) A ring of mean diam eter 100mm is made of round steel with 25mm diameter. The ring
is subjected to four pulls in two directions at right angles to each other passing through

2. A curved beam is subjected to loads as shown in Fig 2. Calculate the increase in

distance between the loaded points A & B given the following data.
Length of straight portion=250mm, Radius of curved portion=112.5mm, cross
sectional dimensions of the beams are 25mm by 112.5mm, G=0.4E & E=21 OkN/mm 2

3. a) How beams on elastic foundations are are classified?

 b) Derive expressions for deflection foundation pressure, bending moment and shear
force at a section in a semi-infinite beam subjected to concentrated load p' at one 15
end

4. a) A long beam of wood with a cross sectionlOOmm wide by 200mm deep rests on a soil
bed having a spring constants of 4.5N/mm2 The modulus of elasticity of wood is
10 5kN/mm2. The wooden beam supports a uniformly distributed load of 36kN/m 15
extending over a length of 3m. Calculate the maximum values of deflection, flexure
and shear stresses in the beam and the maximum pressure under the beam
b) Write a note on short beams subjected to concentrated loads

5. A beam of T-section (flange: 100mmx20mm: web. 150mmx10mm) is 2.5metres in

length and is simply supported at the ends. It carries a load of 3.2kN inclined at 20° to
the vertical and passing through the centroid of the section if E=200GN/m2, calculate 20
i) Maximum tensile stress it) Maximum compressive stress iii) Deflection due to load &
iv) position of the neutral axis

6. Determine the shear centre for the Z-section as shown in Fig 3
