FOURTH SEMESTER B.TECH DEGREE EXAMINATION, MAY 2017

Course Code: CE202
Course Name: STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS — I (CE)
Max. Marks: 100 Duration: 3 Hours

PARTA
Answer any TWO questions. 15 marks each.
1. a) Enumerate the methods of analysing a determinate truss and illustrate along with
sketches, the significance of the methods. (7)
b) Using Castigliano’s theorem, determine the deflection under the load. A simply

supported beam of span “1.” carries a concentrated load P at a distance ‘a’ from left hand

support. Assume uniform flexural rigidity. (8)
2. a) Elucidate Maxwell’s theorem of reciprocal deflection and Betti’s theorem. (5)
b) Differentiate static and kinematic indeterminacies with one example each. (5)
c)Demonstrate unit load method as applied to the analysis of a rigid frame. (5) 3.

Analyse the pin jointed frame and tabulate the results.
