PMO Department - Engineering test:

1. There are three concrete blocks with same dimension 4.0m x 1.0m x 0.5m and density (γ=25 kN/m3).
Place the block “C” on block “B” in the same way as block “B” is positioned on block “A” and define
maximum extension of block “C” over block “B” so “C” is still in a stable state?

2. Cross section is defined as open section composed from three steel rectangular sections with
same thickness of 4mm. For such cross section shown on sketch below (U-section):
a) sketch position of centre of gravity and centre of shear
b) calculate principal moments of inertia (define principal axis Y and Z)

50mm

58mm
3. For structural system below (truss beam), where all members have pinned connection to each
other (hinge), calculate reactions in supports (A & B) and forces (with proper sign –
tension/compression) on beam “9”.
4. A sheet metal strip according to below sketch is loaded with a tensile force Fz. Input Data:
Material: Steel S250, Re = 250 N/mm2, Rm = 360 - 510 N/mm2 (Re- yield strength, Rm-tensile
strength)
a) calculate the maximal elastic force before plasticisation of the strip occurs.
Fz1 = ____________ kN
b) calculate the minimum force of strip rupture.
Fz2 = ____________ kN
c) sketch standard stress-strain diagram of mild steel and mark F1 and F2.
d) On diagram from point c) explain what does it mean strain hardening and Hook Law.
5. Sketch internal forces (N, V, M), without any values but proper signs (+/-), on system shown
below. System is loaded with one concentrated force in the middle of the span.

6. Please explain by using “Gaussian distribution” safety concept presented in Eurocode.

7. Imagine rigid structure under seismic situation. It is a n-storey building. In each floor is mounted
pipe system as on picture below.

Horizontal force substituting seismic effect is a function of which

parameters?

What load combination EC8 defines for seismic situation for

ultimate and serviceability limit state?

8. What is the best cross section resisting torsion loads?

9. What is the best most economical cross section resisting bending and why? Sketch normal and
shear stress on this cross section.
10. Explain difference between ASD and LRFD according to ANSI-AISC 360-10 and explain which one
is close to EC3 design logic.

11. In “fire situation”, what is the temperature when steel starts to lose mechanical properties?

12. Which dimensions of the bellow system we need to change to increase resistance in shown
direction if anchors are the limiting factor? Consider anchors Hilti HST3 M16.
 13. Describe, for connection element bellow, what needs to be taken in to consideration and
calculated to evaluate its resistance in shown direction based on application shown in the picture
bellow.

Installation manual for assembly…

14. Based on your understanding of construction drawings… what represents 4.24 value in the bellow
drawing?
