B G1032 Pages: 3: Answer Any Two Full Questions, Each Carries 15 Marks
PART A
Answer any two full questions, each carries 15 marks. Marks
Fig 1
2 a) Explain static, external and internal indeterminacy with examples. (5)
b) Explain the concept of physical approach (5)
c) Define kinematic indeterminacy. Compute the kinematic indeterminacy of a rigid (5)
jointed frame of column height ‘h’ and beam span ‘l’ with one end fixed and other
end hinged, if only the beam axial deformations are neglected.
3 a) Compare the analysis by flexibility and stiffness matrix (10)
b) Explain the formulae to find out the static indeterminacy of pin-jointed and rigid- (5)
jointed frames
PART B

6 a) Define kinematic indeterminacy. Determine the kinematic indeterminacy of the (5)
following structures in Fig 3.
a. b.
c.
Fig.3
b) Analyse the truss shown in Fig. 4 (with active global coordinates, as shown) and (10)
find the joint displacements, support reactions and bar forces. The truss is subjected
to direct loads F1 = 50 kN; F2 = 30 kN, and a lack of fit due to bar AC being too
long by 5 mm. Assume all bars to have same axial rigidity AE = 6000 kN. Use
stiffness matrix method. 2
