SECTION-B
2.
A parabolic arch hinged at springing and crown has a span of 20m and a central rise of
4m carries a point load of 6 kN at 6m horizontally from the left side hinge. Calculate the
normal thrust, bending moment and shear force at the section under the load.
3.
A suspension cable is suspended from two piers 200m centre to centre, one support being
5 m above the other. The cable carries a u.d.l of 15N/m and has its lower point 10m
below the lower support. The ends of the cable are attached the saddled on rollers at top
of piers. The back stays are inclined at 60? to the vertical. Determine :
(a) The maximum tension in the cable
(b) Tension in the back stays
4.
A masonry dam 10m high, 2m wide at the top, 5m wide at the base has its water face
vertical. Calculate the height upto which water may be stored without causing any tension
at the base. Also, calculate the width required at the base of the dam when it is
completely filled with water. The density of the masonry is 26kN/m3 and of water is
10kN/m3.
5.
A beam of length "L" is simply supported at its ends and carries a point load of "W" at
the centre. The moment of inertia of the beam is "2I" for the left half and "I" for the right
half. Using conjugate beam method calculate slope at each end and at the centre. Also,
find the deflection at the centre.
6.

S.F.D and B.M.D for the beam.

The system of concentrated loads shown in Fig. (3) rolls from left to right across a simply
supported beam of span 40m, the 4kN load is leading. For a section 15m from the left
hand support, determine :
(a) The maximum bending moment
(b) The maximum shear force
