(a)    A freely supported beam of span L carries a central load W. The sectional area of the beam is so adjusted that the moment of inertia of the section increases uniformly from I at the ends to 1.51 at the middle. Calculate the central deflection.

(b)    Determine the vertical deflection at free end C of the beam ABC

I 8xl0^Smm⁴-

A Warren girder of 12 m span (fig.2) is built up of equilateral triangles of 4m sides. It carries equal loads at the lower joints such that the tension members are stressed to 120 N/mm², while the compression members are stressed to 100 N/mm²* Calculate

the vertical deflection under each load, if E - 2x\Q⁵N/ mm² (20)

line for the force in members L,L_r U₂L₂ and U₂U_y Using the influence line diagram, determine the maximum forces in these. members due to a moving load of 10 kN/m and greater than span. (20)

A suspension cable of 60m span and 6m dip is stiffened by a three hinged girder. The dead load is 7.5 kN/m. Determine the maximum bending moment anywhere in the girder when a load of 150 kN rolls from left to right. Determine the maximum tension in the cable.    (20)

OR

A cable of span 150m and dip 15m carries a load of 6 kN/m run of the horizontal span. The supporting pier is 20m high and the caWe is clambed to a saddle with smooth rollers resting on the top of the pier. Determine the forces and bending moment transmitted to the supporting pier.    (20)
