ATTEMP ANY THREE QUESTIONS

1. A cantilever of length 2a is carrying a load of W at the free end, and another load
of W at its centre. Determine, by moment area method, the slope and deflection
of the cantilever at the free end using moment are method.

2. A cantilever of 2 m span carries a triangular load of zero intensity at the free end
and 100 kN/m at the fixed end. Determine the slope and deflection at the free end
using integration method. Take I = 100 × 106 mm4 and E = 200 GPa.

3. A double riveted double cover butt joint in plates 20 mm thick is made with 25
mm diameter rivets at 100 mm pitch.
The permissible stresses are : σt = 120 MPa; τ = 100 MPa; σc = 150 MPa
Find the efficiency of joint, taking the strength of the rivet in double shear as
twice than that of single shear.

4. A concrete dam of trapezoidal section having water on vertical face is 16 m high.

The base of the dam is 8 m wide and top 3 m wide. Find
(a) resultant thrust on the base per metre length of the dam,
(b) point, where the resultant thrust cuts the base

5. A cantilever of span l carries a point load W at the free end as shown in

It is propped at a distance l/4 from the free end. Find the prop reaction using
superposition method.
