1. Distinguish between a two hinged arch and a three hinged arch.

2. Define Space structure.

3. What are the assumptions made in the theory of simplebending?

4. Sketch the shear stress distribution for a T- section.

5. What is Macaulay's method? Where it is used?

6. A beam 6m long, simply supported at its ends, is carrying a point load of
