QUESTION ONE
Analyse the continuous beam for the three load cases shown in Figure 1.0. Draw the
separate shear force and bending moment diagram for ultimate loads. Construct the
maximum shear force and bending moment envelopes.
Assume characteristic dead load gk = 20.0 kN/m; TL – Total Load
characteristic imposed load qk = 10.0 kN/m DL – Dead Load
Case 1.0 TL TL TL
Case 2.0 DL TL DL
Case 3.0 TL DL TL

QUESTION TWO
Design the end span of the continuous beam analysed in Question One. The materials are
grade 30 concrete and grade 460 and 250 reinforcement. Assume cover to reinforcement as
30 mm

QUESTION THREE
Design a single angle tie to carry a characteristic dead load of 80kN and a characteristic
imposed load of 35 kN and connected by
(a) welded connection – connected by long leg
(b) bolted connection – connected by long leg
Material : Use Grade 43 steel

QUESTION FOUR
( a ) Design an angle purlin for a roof with slope of 1 in 2.5. The purlins are simply
supported and span 5.0m between roof trusses. The purlins are at 1.6m centers. The
characteristic dead load, including self weight of purlin, is 0.35 kN/m2 on the slope
and the characteristic imposed load is 0.75 kN/m2 on plan. Use Grade 43 steel.
