Question 1: Consider the structure A − B − C, where, A is the fixed end

at the bottom, B is the beam-column connection and C is the free end. The
beam BC is subjected to a UDL of magnitude w kN/m. Determine the
vertical displacement and slope at point C.

Question 2: Determine the slope at support A. Support at A is pinned

while that at B is roller. Assume EI is constant.

Question 3: Find the slope at B and deflection at C.

Question 4: Consider a single-storey single-bay frame shown in figure 4.

Support on the left (A) is hinged while that on the right (D) is a roller.
Each column and beam have a length L. EI remains constant throughout.
A uniformly distributed load of w kN/m acts on the beam BC. Determine
the slope at C.

Question 5: Find the value of a such that the slope at A is zero. EI

remains constant.

Question 7: Use the moment-area method to find the deflection at the

middle of the simply supported beam.

Question 8: Use the moment-area method to find the deflection and slope
at point B and C.

Question 9: Use the moment-area method to find the maximum deflection

at the middle of the beam. Assume that EI is constant, and neglect the
weight of the beam.

Question 10: Find the deflection at the middle of the beam and slope at
the support of the beam. Assume that EI is constant.
