* rectangular steel plate 3m X 2m simply supported at the edges carrying a uniformly distributed
load of 4kN/m”. Find the maximum deflection of the plate. Derivation is needed assuming plate
equation “w= @/D. Take v =0.25. Thickness ofthe plate is 30 mm . What will be the changes
inthe maximum deflection of the plate if the loading on the plate is sinusoidal having maximum
value at the centre is 4 KN/m? and zero at the edges 2B
Determine the stress distribution of Ny at the center span and Nx at the edge of a simply
supported symmetrical cylindrical shell of radius 12m , span 30m and central angle 120° under
dead load of thickness 100mm and lve load of 0.75 KN/m? (detail derivation is required )

A spherical dome over a circular room is to be constructed. Diameter of the room is 30m.The
radius of the spherical dome is 16m. Thickness of the dome is 100 mm. Live load = 0.75 KN/m?,
‘The dome is subjected to a concentrated load of200 KN at the crown, Find the meridional stress
and hoop stress at an interval of 10° rom vertical axis. Deduce the expression for the above
Stresses. Sketch also the typical reinforcement generally provided in reinforced concrete dome.
