An infinite beam on a Winkler foundation has the following properties:
= 0.3 kN/mm/mm, E = 200 GPa. A concentrated load of intensity 25 kN
is applied to the beam. Compute the maximum deflection, shear force,
bending moment and slope acting in the beam. The beam cross-section is
I-shaped (flanges: 100 x 10 mm and web 150 x 8mm).
Or
Determine the deflection of the built-in beam on an elastic foundation
shown in Figure Q14(b) using finite difference method. The beam is
subjected to a udl of intensity, p = 250 kN/m. L = 4m. Take modulus of
the foundation as 2.0 MPa, EI = 550 x 10? Nmm®. Compare the results
assuming the node interval, h as 2m and Im.

‘A rectangular beam of 230mm x 350mm of 3m long carries a central
concentrated load of 50 KN. The stress strain curve of the beam material
is given by ¢=7002***. Determine the maximum stress induced in the
beam and compare the results when the stress strain curve is a linear
one.
Or
A solid circular shaft of 90mm radius is subjected to a twisting couple so
that the outer 40mm deep sheet of the shaft yields plastically. If the yield
stress in shear for the shaft material is 150 MPa, determine the value of
twisting couple applied and associated angle of twist. G = 80 GPa.
