SECTION - 1
Q 1 Answer the following (Any 1) [9]
I) A three hinged parabolic arch has a span 40 m and central rise 4m. It carries udl of 3kN/m over left 8m
span. Calculate maximum positive and negative bending moment and draw bending moment diagram.

II) The horizontal span of a suspension cable is 50m. The right-hand support B is higher than the left-hand
support A by 10m. The dip of the lowest point C below A is 4m. It carries a uniformly distributed load of
10 kN/m over the entire span. Find i) Maximum tension in the cable and ii) Length of the cable.

Q 2 Answer the following (Any 1) [9]

I)  A simply supported girder has a span of 40m. Six-wheel loads 55 kN each, spaced 3 m apart cross the
girder from left to right. Find BM at section 10m from the left end support.

II) Two-wheel loads 40 kN and 80 kN with fixed distance 3 m between them and 50 kN load leading,
crosses a beam of span 10 m from left to right. Draw the influence line for shear force and bending
moment at section 3 m from left support and find the maximum value of shear force and bending
moment at this section.
