SECTION-B
11. A beam of length `L' is simply supported at its ends and carries point loads of `W' at a
distance `a' from both the ends. Using conjugate beam method calculate slope at the each
end and under each load, determine the deflection under each load and at the centre.
12. A masonry dam 8.5m high 2m wide at the top, 6m wide at the base has its water face
vertical and retains water up to 7m. Calculate the maximum and minimum stress
intensities at the base. The density of the masonry is 26KN/m3 and that of water is
10KN/m3.
13. A suspension cable is suspended from two piers 200m center to center, one support being
5m above the other, the cable carries a uniformly distributed load of 16 KN/m and has its
lowest point 10m below the lower support. The ends of the cable are attached to saddles
on rollers at top of piers. The backstays which are assumed straight are inclined at 60? to
the vertical. Determine: (A) The maximum tension of the cable. (B) The thrust on the
each pier.
14. Compare the maximum tensile stress of thin cylinder and a thin spherical shell having the
same internal pressure and the diameter/ thickness ratio. Take = 0.3
15. A live load of 30 KN/m, 8m long moves on simply supported girder of 10m span. Find
the maximum bending moment that can occur at a section 4m from the left end.
SECTION-C
16. A two hinged parabolic arch of span `L' and rise `h' carries a concentrated load "w" at
the crown. Determine the expression for horizontal thrust developed at springing.
17. A girder AB of length of 30 m is simply supported at C and D which are 5 and 20m from
A respectively. Draw the influence lines from B.M. and S.F. for the midpoint when the
girder is crossed by a UDL `W' KN per meter. Which can be occupying the whole or any
part of the span?
18. A suspension bridge cable hangs b/w two points A&B separated horizontally by 140m
and with B 30m above A. The lowest point in the cable is 5m below A. The cable
supports a stiffening girder weighing 0.44KN/m run which is hinged vertically below A,
B and the lowest point of the cable. Calculate the maximum tension which occurs in
cable when 15KN load crosses the girder from A to B.
