Q.1) Attempt all Parts :

(a) For a beam with one end fixed and other end hinged, find degree of static Indeterminacy.
(b) What do you mean by degree of freedom of a structural system?
(c) Why does free end of a normal beam become fixed end of a conjugate beam?
(d) Draw M/EI diagram for a cantilever loaded at one of the end. Flexural rigidity of half the
length on the fixed side is twice that of the other half. Both halves have length L.
[4 x 2.5= 10]

Q.2) Attempt all Parts :

(a) Determine kinematic Indeterminacy of a 2D rigid frame with fixed supports.
(b) State principle of Virtual work.
(c) Explain Castigliano’s 1st theorem.
(d) A simply supported beam of length 10m is loaded by a point load of 60kN at a distance of
3m from left support. Find slope at both the supports using conjugate beam method.
[4 x 2.5= 10]

Q.3) Attempt any Two Parts :

(a) Determine vertical deflection of free end C of frame shown in fig.1 with point C subjected
to a horizontal load of 10kN.
(b) Use moment area method to determine vertical deflection at free end C of cantilever beam
shown in fig. 2.
(c) Use strain energy method to find deflection at free end of a cantilever subjected to uniformly
distributed load distributed over half the span towards fixed end.
[2 x 5= 10]

Q.4) Attempt any Two Parts :

(a) For frame shown in figure 3, determine vertical deflection at end D using Castigliano’s
theorem.
(b) For frame shown in figure 3, determine horizontal deflection at end C.
(c) Analyze truss shown in figure 4 using method of joints.
[2 x 5= 10]

Q.5) Attempt any one Part :

(a) For truss shown in figure 5, determine FAB, FAD, FAC, FCD .
(b) For beam shown in figure 6, find slope and deflection at end C.
[1 x 10= 10]
