Q.1 A symmetrical two hinged parabolic arch when subjected to a uniformly distributed
Ask an Expert load on the entire horizontal span is subjected to
Solution. 1
(a)
A symmetric parabolic arch either two hinged or three hinged is always free from
bending moment and radial shear and it is only subjected to normal thrust when it
carries uniformly distributed load over the entire span.
Solution. 2
(c)
Solution. 3
(a)
Q.4 Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the arches?
a. The intercept between a given arch and the linear arch at a section is proportional to the
bending moment at that section.
b. The normal thrust at any section of the arch is the component of interacting forces on the
section along the tangent to the centre line of the arch.
c. The radial shear at any section of the arch is the component of the interacting forces on
the section along the normal to the centre line of the arch.
d. None of these
Solution. 4
(d)
Q.5 A two hinged semicircular arch of radius 5 m carries a concentrated load as shown in
figure. The horizontal thrust at each support is ____________ kN.
Solution. 5
Q.6 In the plane truss shown below, the number of members having zero force is
____________.
Solution. 6
Q.7 The rigid gable frame as shown in figure is to be analysed by stiffness method. The
order of stiffness matrix is __________.
[All members are axially rigid]
Solution. 7
5
Degree of kinematic indeterminacy for the gable frame without side sway is equal to
the rotation at all
joints in this case. The kinematic indeterminacy = 5.
So 5 × 5 be will the size of stiffness matrix.
Q.8 Consider the frame as shown in the figure. A moment of 80 kN-m acts at the joint O,
given that the support at B fails at any moment greater than 18 kN-m. The given
structure is
a. unsafe
b. safe
c. just safe
d. cannot be determined from the given data
Solution. 8
(b)

c.
d.
Solution. 9
(b)
Solution. 10
(a)
Q.11 In the figure shown below influence line diagram of force for member M2U3 will be
__________, [consider a unit load moves from left to right and tensile force as positive]
a.
b.
c.
d.
Solution. 11
(a)
a. 3
b. 4
c. 26
d. 29
Solution. 12
(a)
Q.13 If member AB is 5 mm too short then the magnitude of vertical displacement of joint C
of truss shown below is ____________ mm.
Solution. 13
Q.14 For the truss shown below, the ratio of magnitude of forces in member 4 to member 2
will be _______.
Solution. 14
Q.15 A three hinged parabolic arch has a span of 20 meters and a rise of 5 meters. It carries
a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN per meter over the left half of span and a point
Solution. 15
160
