Q-1. Determine the redundant at the end B of the clamped A-36 steel strip. The spring has
a stiffness of k = 2 N/mm. The strip is 5 mm wide and 10 mm high. Also, draw the shear and
moment diagrams for the strip. E= 200 × 𝟏𝟎𝟗 kN/𝒎𝟐

Note! Solve the given question following all the steps discussed in lectures. Any solution from
the manual will result in cancellation of the attempt.

Q-2. By the force method determine all induced reactions due to vertical settlement of
4.5 mm at the support B of the beam shown below. Note! Take the Moment at fixed end
i.e. 𝑴𝑨 and vertical reaction at B i.e. 𝑹𝑩 as redundant. In each case make use of Law of
Reciprocal Deflection.
E= 200 × 𝟏𝟎𝟔 kN/𝒎𝟐 ; I= 160 × 𝟏𝟎−𝟔 𝒎𝟒
