1. Fig. 1(a)-(d) shows some common plane areas. C denotes the centroid and x a centroidal axis.
Using integration where necessaryfind the following in each case:
(a) The values of xc and/or yc in cases where they are indicated.
(b) The second moment of area about the x axis.
Then use the parallel axis theorem to find the following in each case:
(c) The second moment of area about the x axis.

3. During construction of a highway


bridge, the main girders are
cantilevered outward from one pier
towards the next (see Fig. Q3). Each
girder has a cantilever length of 48 m
and an I-shaped cross-section with
dimensions shown in the figure. The
load on each girder (during
construction) is assumed to be
9.5 kN/m, which includes the weight
of the girder.
Determine the maximum tensile
bending stress and the maximum
compressive bending stress in a girder
due to this load.
(From Gere & Goodno).

4. Fig. Q4 shows the cross section of a long uniform concrete

wall of a water tank. Assuming that the wall behaves like a


cantilever, calculate the maximum tensile bending stress and
the maximum compressive bending stress in the concrete. (
density of water = 103 kg/m3 ; gravitational acceleration
g = 9.81 m/s2 ).

Hint: Consider a unit length of the wall.


5. Fig. Q5(a) shows a beam ABCD, simply supported at B and

C and subjected to a point load of 10 kN at A and a udl of


Fig. Q4
intensity 12 kN/m over a part of it. The doubly symmetric
uniform cross section of the beam is shown in Fig. Q5(b).
(a) Determine the support reactions at B and C.
(b) Indicating all critical values sketch the shear force diagram (SFD) and the bending
moment diagram (BMD) for this beam.
(c) Calculate the largest tensile bending stress and the largest compressive bending stress in
the beam.

6. Beam ABCD shown in Fig.Q6(a) is simply supported at B and C. It is subjected to two


concentrated loads of magnitudes 10 kN and 4 kN at A and D respectively, and a udl of
intensity 12 kN/m over BC.
(a) Giving all critical values, sketch the shear force diagram (SFD) and the bending moment
diagram (BMD) for this beam.
(b) The cross section of this beam is shown in Fig.Q6(b). Determine the magnitudes of the
largest tensile and compressive bending stresses in the beam.

7. A railroad sleeper is subjected to two rail
loads, each of magnitude P = 175 kN,
acting as shown in Fig. Q7. The reaction q
of the ballast is assumed to be uniformly
distributed over the length of the sleeper,
which has cross-sectional dimensions
b = 300 mm and h = 250 mm.
Calculate the maximum bending stress
in the sleeper due to the loads P, assuming
the distance L = 1500 mm and the overhang length a = 500 mm.
