Stress (Concrete) = 4.64 MN/m2 , Stress (Steel) = 44.7 MN/m2

Stress (Concrete) = 3.64 MN/m2 , Stress (Steel) = 34.7 MN/m2
Stress (Concrete) = 4.64 MN/m2 , Stress (Steel) = 54.7 MN/m2
Stress (Concrete) = 5.64 MN/m2 , Stress (Steel) = 54.7 MN/m2

3) In figure 2 find the deflection. Take EC = 17 Gpa. ES = 200 GPa 1 point

Deflection = 0.43 mm
Deflection = 0.13 mm
Deflection = 0.23 mm
Deflection = 0.33 mm

4) A very stiff horizontal member is supported by two vertical steel rods of different cross 1 point
sectional area and length as shown in figure 3. If a vertical load of 120 kN is applied to the

horizontal beam at point B, estimate the vertical deflection of the point B. Take ES = 200GPa.

Deflection - 0.78 mm
Deflection - 0.68 mm
Deflection - 0.58 mm
Deflection - 0.48 mm

5) In the structure shown in the figure 4 (a) the member AB is very rigid in comparison to 1 point
BC. It is desired to estimate the vetical deflection at B when a load of 400 N is supported at B. It is
known that when the 400 N load is supported entirely by BC as shown in figure 4(b), the deflection

at B is 23 mm.

Dellection - 49.35 mm
Dellection - 59.35 mm
Dellection - 69.35 mm
Dellection - 79.35 mm

6) A stiff beam is hinged a one end and supported by two springs of spring constant k. 1 point
Where should a force P be applied so that the spring constant of system (P divided by the
deflection under P) is 20/9 k?

c = 0.5a
c = 2.5a

c = 1.5a
c = 3.5a

7) High speed rail transportation design requires knowledge of deflection characteristics 1 point
of the various components of the roadway. If the member AB of a truss section as shown in figure
6 is rigid, estimate the deflection in bars AC and BD. Bars AC, BC, and BD are steel with the cross
sections indicated in figure 6. ES = 200 GPa

Deflection (AC) = 0.0155mm, Deflection (BD) = 0.01mm,

Deflection (AC) = 0.0145mm, Deflection (BD) = 0.01mm,
Deflection (AC) = 0.0135mm, Deflection (BD) = 0.05mm,
Deflection (AC) = 0.0125mm, Deflection (BD) = 0.05mm,

8) In figure 6 estimate the angle (in radians) the member AB makes with the horizontal 1 point
when a load acts at the position indicated.

= 1.875 x 10-5 radians

= 2.875 x 10-5 radians
= 3.875 x 10-5 radians
= 4.875 x 10-5 radians
