CEP313 (STRUCTURAL THEORY 1): FINAL EXAMINATION

1.
Read each of the problem carefully and provide a detailed solution for the required values. Use the provided papers for
your solutions and enclose your finals answer/s in a box. You may also use the back of the papers. Good luck!
2. Draw the influence line for members HI, HJ, and EK of the truss shown, then determine the maximum
(tension or compression) that can be developed in members HI, HJ and EK due to a uniform live load of
5 kN/m that acts on the bridge deck along the bottom chord of the truss.

3. Solve for the following:

a. Maximum reaction at B.
b. Maximum negative shear at C.
c. Maximum moment at C.

A 20 ft 17 ft C 33 ft 28 ft E
B A
D
Consider the following live loads: A

Uniformly distributed load: 20 lbs/ft Concentrated load: 3 kips

4. Determine the slope and displacement at point C. Use E=200GPa , I = 6 x 10 6 m m4.

5. Determine the slope and displacement at point B. Use E=200GPa , I =10 x 106 m m4.
