NATIONAL EXAMS DECEMBER 2016

98-CIV-B1 ADVANCED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

3 HOURS DURATION

NOTES:

1. If doubt exists as to the interpretation of any question, the candidate is urged to submit
with the answer paper a clear statement of any assumption made.

2. Each candidate may use an approved model of Sharp or Casio calculator; otherwise, this
is a CLOSED BOOK Examination.

3. Answer BOTH questions #1, and #2. Answer ONLY TWO of questions #3, #4, or #5.
Answer ONLY TWO of questions #6, #7, #8 or #9. SIX questions constitute a complete
paper.

4. The marks assigned to each question are shown in the left margin.

SELECT AND ANSWER TWO QUESTION ONLY FROM QUESTIONS #3, #4, OR #5.

(18) 3. Use Castigliano's second theorem to determine the vertical defection at mid span of
beam() —0 shown below. The beam is inextensible and has EI = 6000 kN.m2. Both
tension members have EA = 1900 kN.

(18) 4. Use Castigliano's first theorem (the least work theorem) to analyse the structure shown.
Calculate the maximum bending moment in the horizontal beam. All three beams are
inextensible and have the relative EI values shown; for beam 0-0 the value of
EI = 9280 kN.m2 . The tension member has EA= 1900 kN. To minimize calculations,
take advantage of the symmetry.

(18) 5. Use the slope-defection method or the moment-distribution method to analyze the frame
structure shown. Draw shear and bending moment diagrams. Indicate on both diagrams
the magnitude of maximum and minimum ordinates (Minimum ordinates are frequently
negative values). There are no loads on the structure, but after erection, because of
temperature increase, member0—®became longer by 2.4 mm and member0-0
became longer by 3.2 mm. Both members have the same EI value which is 1.8 x 105
kN.m2. Neglect the effects of axial strain caused by axial stress.

SELECT AND ANSWER TWO QUESTION ONLY FROM QUESTIONS #6, #7, #8, OR #9.

(22) 6. Using either a force or a displacement method, determine the terms for the blank stiffness
matrix shown beside the straight, non-prismatic beam below. The M's are member-end
moments and the 0's are member-end slopes.

(22) 7. Using the slope-defection method or the moment-distribution method, analyse the
structure shown below. In addition to the loading shown on the structure, after erection,
joint ®was moved (jacked) horizontally a distance of 24 mm to the right. Draw shear
force and bending moment diagrams. On each diagram for each member, indicate the
magnitudes of the maximum and minimum ordinates (Minimum ordinates are frequently
negative values). Both members are inextensible and have the same EI value;
EI = 20000 kN.m2.
