Questions:
1. Write the differences between statically determinate and statically CO1 L2 5M
indeterminate structures. Also, mention five examples of each type. Explain with
one example how to check the determinacy of a structure.
2. How would you define the degree of static indeterminacy and the kinematic CO1 L1 5M
indeterminacy. Illustrate them with suitable example.
3. How can you differentiate perfect, imperfect and redundant trusses. Mention CO1 L2 5M
suitable examples for each truss.
4. How would you differentiate between the stiffness method and the flexibility CO2 L2 5M
method with suitable expressions, and provide the expressions to find the
unknowns in both methods. Write the step-by-step procedure for both
methods.
5. How can you describe the Flexibility matrix[f] and the stiffness matrix[k]. Prove CO2 L2 5M
[k] = [f]-1.
6. Develop element flexibility matrix for the given Figure. CO2 L3 5M
7. a) Derive the displacement equation for a beam element with left end L3 5M
hinged and right end roller support.
b) Develop the stiffness matrix of a typical pin-jointed two-dimensional
frame element.
8. a) Develop a flexibility matrix for the given coordinates as shown in figure L3 5M
