Q. 101) Which of the structures of fig. 12.28 will experience sway?

Select the correct answer using the codes given below

A. A and B
B. A and C
C. C and D
D. B and D
Answer B

When the joints of beam are having

lateral displacement the given frame is
sway frame.

Conditions of non-sway frames:-

1. Columns of the frame should be
symmetrical
2. The loading should be symmetrical
3. Support of column should be
symmetrical
Q.102) A symmetrical two-hinged parabolic arch when
subjected to a uniformly distributed load on the entire
horizontal span, is subject to

A. Radial shear alone

B. Normal thrust alone
C. Normal thrust and bending moment
D. Normal thrust, radial shear and bending moment
Answer B
Q. 103) A two span continuous beam ABC is simply
supported at A and C and is continuous over support B.
Span AB = 6m, BC = 6m. The beam carries a udl of 2 t/m
over both the spans. EI is constant for the entire span. The
fixed end moment at B in span BA Or BC would be

A. 12 t.m
B. 9 t.m
C. 8 t.m
D. 6 t.m
Answer B
Answer A
Q. 105) The strain energy stored in a simply supported
beam of span l and flexural rigidity EI due to a central
concentrated load W is

A. W²l³/48EI
B. W²l²/48EI
C. W²l²/96EI
D. W²l³/96EI
Answer D
Q. 106) In a two hinged arch an increase in temperature
induces

A. No bending moment in the arch rib

B. Uniform bending moment in the arch rib
C. Maximum bending moment at the crown
D. Minimum bending moment at the crown
Answer C
Effect of temperature on 3 hinge arch:-
1. Thermal stress will not developed on statically determinate structure
have no change in bending moment
2. Temperature increase → horizontal thrust decrease

Effect of temperature on 2 hinge arch:-

1. Two hinge arch are Statically indeterminate, hence thermal stress are
developed.
2. Temperature increase → Horizontal thrust increase and BM maximum
at crown.
Q. 107) The following methods are used for structural analysis
1. Macaulay method
2. Column analogy method
3. Kani’s method
4. Method of sections
Those used for indeterminate structural analysis would include

A. 1 and 2
B. 1 and 3
C. 2 and 3
D. 2,3 and 4
Answer C
The following methods are used to solve indeterminate structures:
1. Flexibility method
2. Slope deflection method
3. Moment distribution method
4. Kani's method
5. Column analogy method
Answer B
Answer D
Q. 110) The absolute maximum bending moment in a
simply supported beam of span 20 m due to a moving udl
of 4 t/m spanning over 5 m is

A. 87.5 t-m at the support

B. 87.5 t-m near the midpoint
C. 3.5 t-m at the midpoint
D. 87.5 t-m at the midpoint
Answer D
