This document is a quiz for a structural analysis and modeling course that contains one multi-part question regarding the analysis of a linear elastic truss. The student is asked to: 1) calculate the global stiffness matrices of the members, 2) calculate the stiffness matrix of the structure, 3) calculate the displacements at point B, 4) calculate the axial forces in members BC and BD, 5) calculate the force in member BC due to heating, and 6) calculate the required cross-sectional area of member BD to halve the displacement at point B. A data sheet containing relevant equations is provided.

1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)
Calculate the global stiffness matrices of the members.
Calculate the stiffness matrix of the structure. Calculate the vertical and horizontal displacements at point B. Calculate the axial forces in members BC and BD. Calculate the force in member BC if it is heated by T=30C in addition to the applied load. What should be the cross-section area A of member BD so that the horizontal displacement at point B be half the one calculated at section 3. DATA SHEET
