1. Draw the bending moment and shear force diagram of a propped cantilever beam
of span 6 m due to a point load of 6 kN at the mid span. [8+8]

2. Determine the moments and reactions at the supports of the fixed-fixed beam which
is loaded by a concentrated load of 10kN at a point 3 m from the left support. The
span of the beam is 8 m. Use method of consistent deformations. EI is constant.
[10+6]

3. A pin jointed roof truss is loaded as shown in Figure1. Determine the forces in
members AE, AC, CE, CF, CD and EF using the method of tension coefficients.

Figure 1:

4. A continuous beam ABC consists of spans AB and BC of lengths 8m and 6m

respectively. A is fixed. The point B is simply supported and end C is free. The
span AB is subjected to a clockwise couple of 80 kN-m at its middle point and the
span BC carries a point load of 40 kN at its middle point. Calculate the support
reactions and support moments. [6+10]

5. Determine the vertical displacement of point A in the pin jointed truss. A=

100mm2 , E=2x105 N/mm2 shown in Figure2. [16]

6. The system of concentrated loads shown below rolls from left to right on a girder
of span 16m, 30kN load leading. For a section 4m from left support , determine
the maximum B.M and S.F

7. Draw the influence line diagram for B.M at a point 8m from the left abutment on a
bridge girder of span 30m and find the maximum B.M at that point due to a series
of wheel loads 80kN, 160kN, 160kN and 160kN at centre to centre distances of 4m,
2.5m, 2.5m and 2.5m respectively. The loads can cross in either directions with the
80kN load leading. [8+8]

8. A beam AB, 20 m long supported on two intermediate props 12 m apart carries

a U.D.L 6kN/m together with concentrated loads of 30kN at the left end A and
50kN at the right end B. The props are so located that the reaction is the same
at each support. Determine the position of the props and draw S.F.D and B.M.D.
Mark the values of the maximum B.M and S.F. [8+4+4]
