Instructions: Answer ALL questions
QUESTION 1 [25 marks}
‘Three members AB, BCDE and EFG are connected by intemal hinges at B and E to form the frame shown in Figure Ql.
‘The whole frame is pin-supported at A and fixed at support G. Horizontal member BCDE carries vertical loads 60 KN at C
and D and a uniformly distributed load of 15 KN/m over its entire length. Vertical member EFG carries a concentrated load
of 30 KN at the mid-span F. Neglecting the weight of the frame,
)Calculate the intemal forces on hinges B and E. [8 marks)
'b)Determine all the possible support reactions at A and G. [17 marks]

QUESTION 2 [25 marks}
The beam ABCDE loaded shown in Figure Q2 consists of two segments ABC and CDE connected by an internal hinge at
C. It is supported on a roller at end A and fixed at E. A concentrated load 100 KN is applied at B of segment ABC. A
clockwise moment of 75 kNm at D and a 20 KN/m uniformly distributed load over the length DE are applied on segment
(CDE. Neglecting the weight of the beam,
a) Determine all necessary reactions at supports A and E, [14 marks]
'b) Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam ABCDE, indicating the values at all principal
sections. [11 marks}
