UNIT - I
2 a In what way statically indeterminate bars can be analyzed 5 CO1 K4
b A brass sleeve with 26 mm and 36 mm as inner and outer diameters
respectively, is fitted over a bolt of 25 mm diameter and the nut is
tightened unit it is just snug. Find the required change in
temperature to produce 30 MPa compressive stress in the sleeve. 10 CO1 K4
What is the stress in the steel bolt. Determine the required axial
load on the bolt at this stage, to make both the elements stress
free. Esteel = 2 EBrass = 200 GPa, α Brass = 1.5 α Steel = 20 x 10-6 per 0C
(OR)
3 a What do you understand by statically indeterminate beam? Explain
5 CO1 K2
briefly?
b A fixed beam of length 6 m carries point loads at a distance of 2 m
and 4 m from the left end. Find the fixed end moments and the
10 CO1 K3
reactions at the supports. Draw the shear force and bending
moment diagrams.
UNIT - II
4 a Define continuous beam? Discuss about Claperyron’s theorem of
5 CO1 K1
three moments.
b A continuous beam covers three consecutive spans of 6 m, 8 m and
10 m. The span carries a UDL of 6 kN/m the second a UDL of 5 kN/m
10 CO1 K3
and the third a UDL of 4 kN/m. Draw the shear force and bending
moment diagrams.
