7. The plane structure shown in Figure 4 consists of a uniform continuous beam ABC pinned
to a fixture at A and supported by a framework of pin-jointed members. All members other
than ABC have the same cross-sectional area A. For ABC, the area is 4A and the second
moment of area for bending is Aa

of w, A, a and Young?s modulus E) the vertical displacement of point D under the vertical
loading shown. Ignore shearing strains in the beam ABC

is the deflection at the centre. If the flexural rigidity of the plate is D and Poisson?s ratio
is v determine the loading function q, the support conditions of the plate, the reactions at
the plate corners and the bending moments at the centre of the plate.
9. Compare shear stress and torsional stiffness of the closed section thin square channel and
the open section thin square channel with side a=10 cm and thickness t=1.6 mm as shown
in Figure 5 when torsional moment M
