Assignment01 2023

The document provides instructions for Assignment 01 due on August 23rd 2023. It contains two questions for analyzing structural frames: 1) Analyze a frame given in Fig Q1 using the force method, computing member forces and drawing shear and bending moment diagrams. 2) Using the force method, determine member forces and reactions for the truss in Fig Q2, removing member AE to obtain the primary structure. Hints are provided for both questions. Students are encouraged to check solutions using online structural analysis software.

SUS3B(2023)-ASSIGNMENT 01

Lecturer: Dr Matongo Kabani

Assignment solutions to be submitted as hardcopies before 23th August 2023 at 14:00

INSTRUCTIONS:

➢ Submission of assignment is compulsory. This is GRADED


➢ All submissions should be handwritten, each page should have a page number e.g 1/10 to denote
page 1 out of 10.
➢ Late submissions will not be marked!!
➢ Assume EI and AE are constant throughout the members unless stated otherwise

Question 1 (25 marks)


a) Compute the degree of static and kinematic indeterminacy for frame in in Fig Q1 [2 marks]
b) Analyse the frame in Fig Q1 using the FORCE METHOD. [15 marks]
c) Sketch the shear force and bending moment diagrams. [8 marks]

Hint: For your computations, assume a primary structure as having vertical reaction at C and
horizontal reaction at D removed Acceptable solution should use virtual work through direct
integration OR using integration tables.

Question 2 (25 marks)
Using The Force Method, determine the member forces and reactions for the truss in Fig Q2 given that all
the elements have the same cross-section and have same material properties.

Hint: For our solution, we remove the element AE to obtain the primary structure
