DEFLECTION OF DETERMINATE STRUCTURES
1.Why is it necessary to compute de ections in structures?
Computation of de ection of structures is necessary for the

following reasons:
a. If the de ection of a structure is more than the permissible,

the structure will not look aesthetic and will cause psychological
upsetting of the occupants.
b. Exessive de ection may cause cracking in the materials

attached to the
structure. For

and the centre line

3.What is the degree of static indeterminacy of a three

hinged parabolic arch?
For a three hinged parabolic arch, the degree of static

indeterminancy is zero. It
is statically determinate. 5.Explain with the aid of a sketch, the

normal thrust and radial shear in an arch rib. H A B H R N
Let us take a section X of an arch. ( g (a) ). Let θ be the

inclination of the tangent at X. If H is the horizontal thrust and V
the vertical shear at X, from the free body of the RHS of the arch,
it is clear that V and H will have normal and radial components

given by,
N= H cosθ + V sinθ
R= V cosθ - H sinθ
4.Which of the two arches, viz. circular and parabolic is

preferable to carry a uniformly distributed load? Why?
Parabolic arches are preferably to carry distributed loads.

Because, both, the shape of the arch and the shape of the bending
moment diagram are parabolic. Hence the intercept between the
theoretical arch and actual arch is zero everywhere. Hence, the
bending moment at every section of the arch will be zero. The
arch will be under pure compression which will be economical.
5.What is the difference between the basic action of an arch

and a suspension cable?
An arch is essentially a compression member which can also take

bending
moments and shears.
Bending moments and shears will be absent if the arch is

parabolic and the loading uniformly distributed.
A cable can take only tension. A suspension bridge will therefore

have a cable and a stiffening girder.
The girder will take the bending moment and shears in the bridge
and the cable, only tension.
Because of the thrusts in the cables and arches, the bending

moments are considerably reduced.
If the load on the girder is uniform, the bridge will have only
cable tension and no bending moment on the girder.
6.Under what conditions will the bending moment in an

arch be zero throughout.
The bending moment in an arch throughout the span will be

zero, if
(i) the arch is parabolic and (ii) the arch carries uniformly
distributed load throughout the span.
7.Draw the ILD for bending moment at a section X at a

distance x from the left end of a three hinged
parabolic arch of span ’l’ and rise ‘h’.
Mx = µ x – Hy
µ x Hy
(+) (-)
x(l-x)/ l x(l-x)/ l
8. Indicate the positions of a moving point load for

maximum negative and positive bending moments in a three
hinged arch.
Considering a three hinged parabolic arch of span ‘l’ and

subjected to a moving
point load W, the position of the point load for
a. Maximum negative bending moment is 0.25l from end

supports. b. Maximum positive bending moment is 0.211l from
end supports.
9. Draw the in uence line for radial shear at a section of a

three hinged arch.
Radial shear is given by Fx = H sinθ - V cosθ,
where θ is the inclination of tangent at X. l sinθ
l – x cosθ 4r
10. Distinguish between two hinged and three hinged

arches.
Two hinged arches Three hinged arches
1. Statically indeterminate to rst degree Statically determinate
2. Might develop temperature stresses Increase in temperature

causes increasein central rise. No stresses.
3. Structurally more ef cient Easy to analyse. But in costruction,

the central
hinge may involve additional expenditure.
4. Will develop stresses due to sinking of supports Since this is

determinate, no stresses due to support sinking.
11. Explain the effect of yielding of support in the case of an

arch.
Yielding of supports has no effect in the case of a 3 hinged arch

which is
determinate. These displacements must be taken into account

when we analyse 2 hinged or xed arches under
∂U = ∆H instead of zero ∂H
∂U = ∆VA instead of zero ∂VA
Here U is the strain energy of the arch and ∂H and ∆VA are the
displacements
due to yielding of supports.
12. Write the formula to calculate the change in rise in three

hinged arch if there is a rise in temperature.
Change in rise = l2 + 4r2 α T 4r
where l = span length of the arch r = central rise of the arch
α = coef cient of thermal expansion
T = change in temperature
13. In a parabolic arch with two hinges how will you

calculate the slope of the arch at any point.
Slope of parabolic arch = θ = tan-1 4r (l – 2x) l2
where θ = Slope at any point x (or) inclination of tangent at x.
l = span length of the arch r = central rise of the arch
14. How will you calculate the horizontal thrust in a two

hinged parabolic arch if there is a rise in temperature.
Horizontal thrust = l α TEI l y2dx 0
where l = span length of the arch
y = rise of the arch at any point x
α = coef cient of thermal expansion
T = change in temperature
E = Young’s Modulus of the material of the arch
I = Moment of inertia
15. What are the types of arches according to the support

conditions.
i. Three hinged arch
ii. Two hinged arch
iii. Single hinged arch
iv. Fixed arch (or) hingeless arch
16. What are the types of arches according to their shapes.
i. Curved arch
ii. Parabolic arch iii. Elliptical arch iv. Polygonal arch
UNIT-1V
SLOPE-DEFLECTION METHOD
1.What are the assumptions made in slope-de ection

method?
(i) Between each pair of the supports the beam section is

constant.
(ii) The joint in structure may rotate or de ect as a whole, but the
angles between the members meeting at that joint remain the
same.
2. How many slope de ection equations are available for a

two span continuous beam?
There will be 4 nos. of slope-de ection equations, two for each

span.
3. What is the moment at a hinged end of a simple beam?
Moment at the hinged ends of a simple beam is zero.
4. What are the quantities in terms of which the unknown

moments are expressed in slope-de ection method?
In slope-de ection method, unknown moments are expressed in

terms of
(i) slopes (θ) and (ii) de ections (∆)
5. How do you account for sway in slope de ection method

for portal frames?
Because of sway, there will br rotations in the vertical members

of a frame.
This causes moments in the vertical members. To account for

this, besides the equilibrium, one more equation namely shear
equation connecting the joint-
moments is used.
6. Who introduced slope-de ection method of analysis?
Slope-de ection method was introduced by Prof. George

A.Maney in 1915.
7. Write down the general slope-de ection equations and

state what each term represents?
AB
General slope-de ection equations:
MAB = M’AB + 2EI/L( 2θA + θB + 3∆ / l )
MBA = M’BA + 2EI/L( 2θB + θA + 3∆ / l)
where, M’AB , M’BA = Fixed end moment at A and B respectively

due to the
given loading.
θA , θB = Slopes at A and B respectively
∆ = Sinking of support A with respect to B
8. Mention any three reasons due to which sway may occur

in portal frames.
Sway in portal frames may occur due to
(i) unsymmetry in geometry of the frame
(ii) unsymmetry in loading or
(iii) Settlement of one end of a frame.
9. How many slope-de ection equations are available for

each span?
Two numbers of slope-de ection equations are available for each

span,
describing the moment at each end of the span.
10. State the limitations of slope de ection method.
(i) It is not easy to account for varying member sections
(ii) It becomes very cumbersome when the unknown

displacements are large in number.
11. Why is slope-de ection method called a ‘displacement

method’?
In slope-de ection method, displacements (like slopes and

displacements) are
treated as unknowns and hence the method is a ‘displacement

method’.
12. De ne degrees of freedom.
In a structure, the number of independent joint displacements

that the structure
can undrgo are known
as degrees of freedom.
13. A rigid frame is having totally 10 joints including

support joints. Out of slope-de ection and moment
distribution methods, which method would you prefer for
analysis? Why?
Moment distribution method is preferable.
If we use slope-de ection method, there would be 10 (or more)

unknown displacements and an equal number of equilibrium
equations. In addition, there
would be 2 unknown support momentsper span and the same

number of slope- de ection equations. Solving them is dif cult.
14. What is the basis on which the sway equation is formed

for a structure?
Sway is dealt with in slope-de ection method by considering the

horizontal
equilibrium of the whole frame taking into account the shears at

the base level of columns and external horizontal forces.
The shear condition is MAB + MBA – Ph + MCD + MDC + P = 0
UNIT-V
MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD
1.What is the difference between absolute and relative

stiffness? Absolute stiffness is represented in terms of E, I and l,
such as 4EI / l. Relative stiffness is represented in terms of I and l,
omitting the constant E.
Relative stiffness is the ratio of stiffness to two or more members

at a joint.
2. De ne: Continuous beam.
A Continuous beam is one, which is supported on more than two

supports. For
usualloading on the beam hogging ( - ive ) moments causing

convexity upwards at
the supports and sagging ( + ve ) moments causing concavity

upwards occur at mid span.
3.What are the advantages of Continuous beam over simply

supported beam?
1. The maximum bending moment in case of continuous beam is

much less
than in case of simply supported beam of same span carrying

same loads.
2. In case of continuous beam, the average bending moment is

lesser and hence lighter materials of construction can be used to
resist the bending moment.
4. In a member AB, if a moment of –10 KNm is applied at A,

what is the moment carried over to B?
Carry over moment = Half of the applied moment
∴Carry over moment to B = -10/5 = -5 KNm
5. De ne: Moment distribution method.( Hardy Cross

mrthod).
It is widely used for the analysis of indeterminate structures. In

this method, all
the members of the structure are rst assumed to be xed in

position and xed end moments due to external loads are
obtained.
6. De ne: Stiffness factor.
It is the moment required to rotate the end while acting on it

through a unit
rotation, without translation of the far end being (i) Simply

supported is given by k = 3 EI / L (ii) Fixed is given by k = 4 EI / L
where, E = Young’s modulus of the beam material.
I = Moment of inertia of the beam
L = Beam’s span length.
7. De ne: Distribution factor.
When several members meet at a joint and a moment is applied

at the joint to
producerotation without translation of the members, the

moment is distributed among all the members meeting at that
joint proportionate to their stiffness.
Distribution factor = Relative stiffness / Sum of relative stiffness

at the joint
If there is 3 members, Distribution factors = k1 , k2 , k3 k1 + k2 +

k3 k1 + k2 + k3 k1 + k2 + k3
8. De ne: Carry over moment and Carry over factor.
Carry over moment: It is de ned as the moment induced at the

xed end of the
beam by the action of a moment applied at the other end, which

is hinged. Carry over moment is the same nature of the applied
moment.
Carry over factor ( C.O) : A moment applied at the hinged end B “

carries over” to the xed end A, a moment equal to half the
amount of applied moment and of the same rotational sense.
C.O =0.5
9. De ne Flexural Rigidity of Beams.
The product of young’s modulus (E) and moment of inertia (I) is

called
Flexural Rigidity (EI) of Beams. The unit is N mm 2
10. De ne: Constant strength beam.
If the exural Rigidity (EI) is constant over the uniform section, it

is called
Constant strength beam.
11. What is the sum of distribution factors at a joint?
Sum of distribution factors at a joint = 1.
12. What are the situations where in sway will occur in

portal frames?
a. Eccentric or unsymmetric loading
b. Unsymmetrical geometry
c. Different end conditions of the columns d. Non-uniform

section of the members
e. Unsymmetrical settlement of supports f. A combination of the

above
13. What are symmetric and antisymmetric quantities in

structural behaviour?
When a symmetrical structure is loaded with symmetrical

loading, the bending
moment and de ected shape will be symmetrical about the same

axis. Bending moment and de ection are symmetrical quantities.
