CE 382 - Structural Analysis

Team Homework Assignment #10 – Force Method of Analysis Due Date: Thursday – April 20, 2017

NOTE: You can verify your solutions for these problems using RISA-2D.

1. For the beam structure to the right, choose the support reaction at B as the redundant and calculate using the force method of analysis. Then cal-culate the vertical reaction and mo-ment reaction at A and draw the stati-cally indeterminate bending moment diagram. Determine the location and magnitude of the maximum positive bending moment. EI = constant

2. Choose the internal bending moment at B as the redundant and solve using the force method of analysis. Then calcu-late the vertical support reactions at A, B, and C and draw the bending moment diagram for the indeterminate beam structure. EI = constant

3. Choose the vertical support reaction at B as the redundant and solve using the force method of analysis. Then calculate all bar forces. Also calculate the horizontal dis-placement at D. EA = constant
