TIME-THREE HOURS MAXIMUM MARKS-60

1. (a) What are fixed end moments?

(b)Explain free bending moment and fixed end bending moment diagrams.
(c) What are slope deflection equations for a rigid jointed prismatic member?
(d)Analyze the beam shown in figure-1 by slope deflection method
(e) Analyze the beam shown in figure by three moment theorem.

2. (a)what do you understand by the term distribution factor? Discuss its importance in the method of moment
distribution.
(b)What are free bending moment diagram? How do supports moments superimposed on free bending
moment diagram to get actual bending moment diagram?
(c)How is carry over factor is affected by end conditions?
(d) Analyze the beam shown in figure-3 by moment distribution method.
(e)Analyze the beam shown in figure-4 by moment distribution method. EI is constant.

3. (a) What are statically indeterminate structures?

(b)Define degree of indeterminacy.
(c)What primary structural actions are transferred in a truss and a beam?
(d)Enumerate different structural elements of a multi-storied framed structures and state clearly if they are
load bearing.
(e)Explain taking suitable examples the procedure of finding external and internal indeterminacy of a pin
connected and a rigidly connected structures.

4. (a)Define permissible stresses.

(b)How do you account for earthquake loads?
(c)How do partial safety factor for load differ from that for material strength?
(d)How is permissible stress obtained from the actual ultimate stress in different standard specification and
code of practice? Explain factor of safety used for this purpose.
(e)What are different types of loads considered in design of a multistory building or any other type of
structure?

5. (a)Why do we need the retaining wall?

(b)What is the difference between a rectangular and a trapezoidal shaped retaining wall?
(c)What are the different forces actions on a retaining wall?
(d)Explain the procedure of analyzing the stability of retaining walls. Discuss the purpose of shear key.
(e)Sketch the typical reinforcements details in stem, base slab (heel and toe) and conterforts for a counterfort
retaining wall.
