Question 1: STRAIN ENERGY METHOD
For the statically determinate truss shown in Figure, determine the deflection at C using the strain energy method.
A=1500mm2
E = 200 kN/mm2

Question 2: DOUBLE INTEGRATION METHOD (Macaulay)
Figure Q shows a beam subjected to a distributed load which varies linearly in intensity (from zero at support A to 10kN/m at support B). There is no loading on the cantilever part BC.
- Using the double integration (Macaulay) method, derive an expression for the deflection equation along the span AB.
- Determine the deflection at C

Question 3: MOMENT AREA METHOD
Using the moment area moment, determine the deflection at the free end C for the beam shown in Figure.

Question 4: SLOPE-DEFLECTION METHOD
Use the slope-deflection method to calculate the support reactions and internal force diagrams of the portal frame shown in Figure.
Check the accuracy of the results of the computational model.

Question 5: MOMENT DISTRIBUTION
Figure shows a continuous beam subjected to a uniformely distributed loads along the spans AB and CD. The support C settles by 4mm (vertically downwards).
- Determine the support moments using the moment distribution method.
- Plot the shear force and bending moment diagrams showing key values.
