1. Calculate the vertical deflection component of joint B of the truss loaded as shown
by strain energy method. Cross-sectional area of the each member is 500x10

-6

m2

and E= 200x106 kN/m2.

2. A parabolic three hinged arch has a span of 20m and central rise 4m.It is loaded
with uniformly distributed load of 20kN-m for a length of 8 m from the left end
support. Draw the BMD and find the position and magnitude of maximum bending
moment over the arch.
3. A parabolic arch hinged at two ends has a span of 60m and a rise of 12m. A
concentrated load of 8 kN acts a 15m from the left hinge. The second moment of
area varies as the secant of the inclination of the arch axis. Calculate the
horizontal thrust and the reactions at the hinge. Also calculate the net bending
moment at the section.
