CE 382 - Structural Analysis

Individual Homework Assignment #8 – Envelope Curves

Due: Tuesday – April 4, 2017

1. For points a, b, c, d, and e sketch the qualitative shear and moment influence line diagrams.

a b c d e

20m 20m

2. (Eight points) For WDL = 4 kN/m, WLL = 16 kN/m, A = 2000 mm2, I = 4x108 nn4, and E = 200
kN/mm2; calculate the moment envelope values and plot the moment envelope curves (positive
and negative). (NOTE: You only need to consider maximum positive and negative bending
moments even though for a true envelope curve you would have to consider all points between
the supports.) Submit your computer output and the spreadsheet computed envelope
curves.

3. (Bonus four points) Repeat problem 2 for shear. Recall that shears are discontinuous at the
supports due to the support reactions. Thus, your spreadsheet calculations must include two
shear calculations at each interior support: one for the shear just to the left of the support and
one calculation for the shear just to the right of the support. Since the shears are maximums at
the supports, it is not necessary to consider interior shear points. However, remember that for
a true envelope curve you would have to consider all points between the supports. Submit your
computer output and the spreadsheet computed envelope curves.
