(a) Steel (b) Concrete (c) Timber
The fixed arch is indeterminate of _______________ degree.
2
(a) 1st (b) 2nd (c) 3rd

3 3 Hinged Arch is Determinate structure. (True/False)

4 The Point where bending moment changes its sign is called _________________.

In a framing system, the bending moment diagram is drawn _________ on the tension
5 side of the frame.
(a) Positive (b) Negative

PART II
Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams of the following

beams. Neglect the weight of the beam.

Q# 2 10

Draw the Shear force and

bending moment diagram
of the following beam.
Q# 3 10
 The three-hinged open-spandrel arch bridge like the one shown in the
photo has a parabolic shape. If this arch were to support a uniform
load and have the dimensions shown in Fig. Show that the arch
is subjected only to axial compression at any intermediate point such
as point D. Assume the load is uniformly transmitted to the arch ribs

Q# 4 10

Q# 2: Short Answers (2x5=10)

i. Differentiate between tension and compression members.
 ii. Draw a general schematic diagram of Structural Engineering Project.
iii. Mention three type of supports in structures.
iv. Define beam. Also differentiate beam from truss.
v. Define shear members. Also give one practical example of it.

Q# 3: Determine the force in each member of the truss. State whether the members are in
tension or compression. Set. P = 15 kN.
