Note : Question No. 1is compulsory and it must be answered. frrst in Sequence
at one place only.

Answer any FOUR frorn the remaining.

Question No. 1 carries 10 marks and remaining questions carry 15 marks each.

1. Answer ALL questions : (10x1=10)

(a) State uses of influence line diagrams.

O) Mention the loading confition for maximum bending moment to occur at

a section in a beam when a u.d.l. longer than the span crosses the beam.
(c) Draw the ILD's for a simply supported beam of span'l', when a unit load.
crossing the girder from left to right for the reactions at the supports.

 2. Tko wheel loads of 80 kN and 160 kN cross a span of 10 m from left to right.
The 80 kN wheel is 2 m ahead of the lGO kN wheel. Draw the maximum shear
and maximum bending moment diagrams and also find the following force
vaiues and their locations.
(a) Absolute maximum positive shear
@) Absolute maximum negative shear
(c) Absolute maximum bending moment.
