Question 1
In the matrix stiffness method of structural analysis, what is the axial stiffness term for a 2D prismatic frame element of length L, cross-sectional area A, and modulus of elasticity E?
Correct Answer:
E A / L
Question 2
What is the degree of kinematic indeterminacy (unconstrained degree of freedom) for a 2D rigid jointed plane frame consisting of 2 spans, 1 storey, with 3 fixed column bases?
Correct Answer:
6
Question 3
A pin-jointed steel truss member of length L = 4.0 m and cross-sectional area A = 2000 mm^2 carries a tensile axial force N = 300 kN under applied loads. If E = 200 GPa, what is the axial elongation of this member?
Correct Answer:
3.00 mm
Question 4
In the Moment Distribution Method, a continuous beam joint B connects span AB (length 6 m, flexural rigidity EI) and span BC (length 4 m, flexural rigidity 2EI). If both ends A and C are fixed, what is the distribution factor for member BC at joint B?
Correct Answer:
0.75
Question 5
In the Moment Distribution Method, what is the carry-over factor from a near joint to a far support that is pinned or hinged?
Correct Answer:
0.0
