CE3310: ADVANCED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Assignment 2 - Statically Indeterminate Structures II
Assume Q = 50 + last two digits of your Roll No. (Units as applicable).
1, Consider the two parabolic arches shown in Fig. 1, with an internal hinge at B. Find the
horizontal thrust, /7, and draw the axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams.

2. Fig.2 shows two horizontal, simply supported wooden beams, AB and CD with an
included angle of 30° in plan, ‘The beam AB rests on the beam CD, simply connected by a
single nail. ‘The contact point E corresponding to the mid-span locations of the two beams.
Assume both beams to have the same span 6m and the same flexural rigidity E[. Analyse the
structure and draw the bending moment diagrams and shear force diagram for beams AB and
CD. Also, find deflection at E (in terms of ED.
0.50 kNim D
3, Analyse the anti-symmetric frame shown in Fig. 3. Assume all elements to have a size
300x300 mm and an elastic modulus, E= 2.5 x 10’ N/mm”, Take the spring constant k =
SkN/mm at the support at D. Draw the deflection, bending moment, shear force and axial
force diagrams. Consider axial and shear deformations to be negligible. Also find the
horizontal deflection of BC.
