FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING CCB 232 /CCB 212 ~ ENGINEERING MECHANICS: STATICS Test No. 2 Date: 19 November 2020 ‘Time Allowed: 90 mins 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.

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.
