NIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE B.Sc. (Engineering) Honours - Level IV ANALYSIS OF STRUCURES MAY 2015 Engin. CE 401 Answer FOUR Questions. Time allowed: 3 hours Question 3 is compulsory. All uestions Carry 25. Marks each. QUESTION 1 Develop the global stiffness matrix for the two-dimensional pin-jointed structure shown in Figure Ql. Assume E = 210kN/(mm); and the area of cross-section A = 2000(mm)* for the vertical members; and 600 (mm)° for other clements. Use matrix method of structural analysis. FIGURE Q1 Individual Stiffess matrices: [15 marks} Global stiffness matrix: (10 marks} Page 1 of 14Engin, CE401 Analysis of Structures QUESTION 2 ‘Analyse the plane grid shown in Figure Q2. Assume that E= 14x 10° kNim?, G = 6.36 x 106 kN/m? 1= 2600 x 10% més 1821 x 10%m* L =4m 12 p=041 A = 125000 x 10°m? {ed out on the assumption of shear deformations being neglected.
