PART B — (5  13 = 65 marks)

11. (a) Determine the deflection under the load point of the beam shown in
figure below. Take E = 200 × 106 kN/m 2 and I = 14 × 10–6 m4. Use the
principle of virtual work. (13)

Or
(b) The steel truss shown in figure is anchored at A and supported on rollers
at B. if the truss is so designed that, under the given loading, all tension
members are stressed to 110 N per square mm and all compression
members to 85 N/mm2. Find the vertical deflection of the point C, Take
E = 2 × 105 N/mm2. (13)

12. (a) A single rolling load of 100 kN moves on a girder of span 20 m.


(i) Construct the influence lines for (1) shear force and (2) bending
moment for a section 5 m from the left support. (ii) Construct the
influence lines for points at which the maximum shears and maximum
bending moment develop. Determine these values. (13)

Or

(b) A train of 5 wheel loads crosses a simply supported beam of span 22.5 m.
Using influence lines, calculate the maximum positive and negative
shear forces at mid span and absolute maximum bending moment
anywhere in the span. (13)

13. (a) Distinguish between two hinged and three hinged arches. (13)

Or

(b) A parabolic 3-hinged arch carries loads as shown in Fig 13 (b). Determine
the resultant reactions at supports. Find the bending moment, normal
thrust and radial shear at D, 5 m from A. What is the maximum bending
moment? (13)

14. (a) A suspension bridge has a span 50 m with a 15 m wide runway. It is
subjected to a load of 30 kN/m including self-weight. The bridge is
supported by a pair of cables having a central dip of 4 m. find the cross
sectional area of the cable necessary if the maximum permissible stress
in the cable materials is not to exceed 600 MPa. (13)
Or
(b) A suspension cable has a span of 120 m and a central dip of 10 m and is
suspended from the same level at both towers. The bridge is stiffened by
a stiffening girder hinged at the end supports. The girder carries a single
concentrated load of 100 kN at a point 30 m from left end. Assuming
equal tension in the suspension hangers. Calculate the horizontal tension
in the cable and the maximum positive bending moment. (13)

15. (a) A simply supported beam of span 5 m is to be designed for an udl of


25 kN/m. Design a suitable I section using plastic theory, assuming yield
stress in steel as fy = 250 N/mm2. (13)
Or
(b) A uniform beam of span 4 m and fully plastic moment MP is simply
supported at one end and rigidly clamped at other end. A concentrated
load of 15 kN may be applied anywhere within the span. Find the
smallest value of MP such that collapse would first occur when the load is
in its most unfavorable position. (13)

PART C — (1 × 15 = 15 marks)

at B as shown in Figure 16(a). It carries a vertical load Pat its free end.
