TWO MARKS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Necessary to compute deflections in structures
Computation of deflection of structures is necessary for the following
reasons:
(i) If the deflection of a structure is more than the permissible, the structure will
not look aesthetic and will cause psychological upsetting of thje occupants.
(ii) Excessive deflection may cause cracking in the materials attached to the
structure. For example, if the deflection of a floor beam is excessive, the floor finishes
and partition walls supported on the beam may get cracked and unserviceable.
Cambering technique, in structures
Cambering is a technique applied on site, in which a slight upward
curve is made in the structure / beams during construction, so that it will straighten out
and attain the straight shape during loading. This will considerably reduce the
downward deflection that may occur at later stages.
Four m e t h o d s u s e d f o r t h e c o m p u t a t i o n o f d e f l e c t i o n s i n structures.
(i) Virtual work method Dummy unit load method
(ii) Strain energy method
(iii) Willot Mohr diagram method
(iv) Method of elastic weights
Difference between strain energy method and unit load method in the
determination of deflection of structures.
In strain energy method, an imaginary load P is applied at the point
where the deflection is desired to be determined. P is equated to Zero in the final step
and the deflection is obtained.
In unit load method, an unit load (instead of P) is applied at the point
where the deflection is desired.
Assumptions made in the unit load method
Assumptions made in unit load method are
1. The external and internal forces are in equilibrium
2. Supports are rigid and no movement is possible.
3. The material is strained well within elastic limit.

A) Stresses due to External Loading:
AC = 32 4 2 5m
Reaction:
RA = -3/4
RB = 3/4
Sin = 3/5 = 0.6; Cos = 4/5 = 0.8
Resolving vertically at the joint C, we get
6 = PAC cos + PBC sin
Resolving horizontally at the joint C, we get
PAC cos = PBC sin ;
PAC = PBC
PAC sin + PBC sin = 6
2 PAC sin = 6
PAC = 6/sin = 6/2 x 0.6 = 5 KN (tension)
PAC = PBC = 5 KN (tension)
Resolving horizontally at the joint C, we get
PAB = PAC cos
PAB = 5 cos ;
PAB = 5 x 0.8
PAB = 4 KN (comp)
B) Stresses due to unit vertical load at C:
Apply unit vertical load at C. The Stresses in each member will be 1/6 than of

4. Using the principle of least work, analyze the portal frame shown in Fig.
Sol:
The support is hinged. Since there are two equations at each supports. They are H A,
VA, HD, and VD. The available equilibrium equation is three.
(i.e.) M 0, H 0, V 0 .
The structure is statically indeterminate to first degree. Let us treat the horizontal H
( ) at A as redundant. The horizontal reaction at D will evidently be = (3-H) ( ).
By taking moments at D, we get
(VA x 3) + H (3-2) + (3 x 1) (2 1.5) (6 x 2) = 0
VA = 3.5 H/3
VD = 6 VA = 2.5 + H/3
