 b) A Continuous beam ABCD fixed at A and D and continuous over supports B and C. The
span AB=5m carries a central concentrated load of 10kN. The span BC=4m carries a
uniformly distributed load of 4 kN/m over the entire span of BC. The span CD=6m
carries a non-central concentrated load of 8 kN acting at a distance of 2m from the end
D. Analyse the beam and draw bending moment diagram using moment distribution
method and tabulate the results
14. a) A continuous beam ABCB is simply supported over the supports A, B, C and
D. AB = 10m BC = 8m and CD=10m. Moment of inertia is constant throughout. A
single concentrated central load of 12 tons acts on AB and a uniformly distributed
load of 10Tons/m acts over BC. Examine the final forces by stiffness matrix method
and draw BMD.
(OR)
b) Analyze the Continuous beam shown in fig using Stiffness Matrix method and find
the moments over the supports. EI is constant throughout

15. a) Analyze the Structure loaded as shown in fig by Flexibility Matrix method and sketch
the bending moment diagram

(OR)
b) Analyze the Continuous beam shown in fig using Flexibility Method and find the
moments over the supports.

PART – C
16. a) Analyse the Frame shown in figure by Strain Energy Method draw Bending moment
diagram. Flextural rigidity (EI) is same for all members.

(OR)
b) Analyse the Frame shown in figure by Moment Distribution method draw Bending
moment diagram.
