A multistory building with a basement is to be constructed. The top 4 m consists of loose silt, below which dense sand layer is present up to a great depth. Ground water table is at the surface. The foundation consists of the basement slab of 6 m width which will rest on the top ...

A propped cantilever made of a prismatic steel beam is subjected to a concentrated load P at mid span as shown. Q1. If load P= 80 kN,find the reaction R(in kN) (correct to 1-decimal place)using elastic analysis.

Beam PQRS has internal hinges in spans PQ and RS as shown. The beammay be subjected to a moving distributed vertical load of maximum intensity 4 kN/m of any length anywhere on the beam. The maximum absolute value of the shear force...

A uniform beam weighing 1800 N is supported at E and F by cable ABCD. Determine the tension ( in N) in segment AB of this cable ( correct to 1-decimal place).

A uniform beam (EI=constant) PQ in the form of a quarter-circle of radius R is fixed at end P and free at the end Q, where a load W is applied as shown. The vertical downward displacement, δp, at the

All members in the rigid-jointed frame shown are prismatic and have the same flexural stiffness EI. Find the magnitude of the bending moment at Q (in kNm) due to the given loading.

The pin-jointed 2-D truss is loaded with a horizontal force of 15 kN at joint S and another 15 kN vertical force at joint U, as shown.Find the force in member RS (in kN ) ...
