Assignment 6

This document provides instructions for analyzing two structural frames using matrix methods. For the first frame under a concentrated load, students are asked to analyze the frame using the conventional stiffness method and draw the axial, shear, bending and deflection diagrams. For the second anti-symmetric frame under a uniform load, students are to use the reduced stiffness method to analyze the frame and draw the corresponding diagrams, taking advantage of the hinged support. Students are provided diagrams of the frames, load information, member properties and asked to consider thermal effects in one case.

3310: Advanced Structural Analysis


Tutorial - 6 : Plane and Space Frames (Matrix Methods)
Take P = 100 + last two digits of your Roll No (kN).
1. (a) Analyse the plane frame shown in Fig. 1, considering a concentrated load P kN
acting downwards at the rigid joint O. Analyse by the conventional Stiffness
Method, and draw the axial force, shear force, bending moment and deflection
diagrams. Assume both the frame elements to have a uniform square cross-section,
300300 mm with an elastic modulus,
N/mm2.
(b) Analyse the same frame when it is subjected to a uniform drop in temperature by
40C and no external load. Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion,

o

2. Analyse the anti-symmetric frame shown in Fig. 2 by the Reduced Stiffness Method.
Assume all elements to have a size 300300 mm and an elastic modulus,
N/mm2. Draw the deflection, bending moment, shear force and axial
force diagrams. Consider axial deformations to be negligible. Take advantage of the
hinged support at D.
