  • Question 3/30
    1 / -0.33

    Determine the direction of sway for the given rigid jointed frame.

    Solutions

    Sway in the rigid frame can be predicted either by computing the moment of resistance or by analysis.

    Method 1: Analysis by computing Moment of Resistance

    There are two columns in the frame i.e. AB and CD

    For the column AB ⇒ Moment of resistance against deformation = 

    For the column CD ⇒ Moment of resistance against deformation = 

    Since both the columns have the same moment of resistance, the direction of sway cannot be predicted.

    Method 2: Practical Analysis

    Let’s divide the frame into two different portions, along the center line i.e. symmetrically.

    Since the left portion of the frame doesn’t carry any external load, it’s kept out of the analysis. Taking the right side of the frame.

    Assume Frame sways in the right direction,

    But right sway would lead the rigid joint to form an acute angle between the two members, which is not possible.

    Now, assume sway in the left direction,

    Yes, left sway would maintain the right angle between the two members.

    ∴ The frame will sway in the left direction.

    To generate the jth column of the flexibility matrix
    Solutions

    Stiffness Matrix Method

    1. This method is also known as displacement method or equilibrium method.

    2. It is suitable if static indeterminacy (Ds) > kinematic indeterminacy (D) for the structure.

    Stiffness is defined as Force required to produce unit displacement,

    K12 → Force at 2 due to unit displacement at 1

    Flexibility Matrix Method

    1. This method is also known as force method or compatibility method.

    2. It is suitable if kinematic indeterminacy (Dk) > static indeterminacy (Ds) for the structure.

    Flexibility is defined as Displacement caused due to unit Force.

    δ12 → Displacement at 2 due to Force at 1

    ∴ To generate a jth column of flexibility matrix a unit force is applied at coordinate j and the displacement are calculated at all coordinates.

  • Question 9/30
    1 / -0.33

    Rupture strength of the plate subjected to tensile loading is considered to be x% of its ultimate strength. What is the value of x as per IS 800-2007?
    Solutions

    As per IS 800 – 2007, rupture strength of the plate subjected to tensile loading is taken 90% of its ultimate strength.

    Bolts connected to plates tend to redistribute moments along the width of the plate. Thus, a moment at a critical location is reduced and redistributed.

    But to consider the factor of safety, for instance, if redistribution doesn’t occur ideally. IS Code has recommended taking rupture strength as 0.9 × fu (fu = ultimate strength of the material)

  • Question 10/30
    1 / -0.33

    Degree of redundancy for the given frame is ________

    Solutions

    Degree of Redundancy is also known as static indeterminacy.

    A structure is said to be statically indeterminate if the number of unknown forces of the given structure is more than the equilibrium equations available.

    Static Indeterminacy (D) = External static indeterminacy (Dse) + Internal static indeterminacy (Dsi) – Number of Force Releases

    Dse (External static indeterminacy) = Number of supports reactions – Number of equilibrium equation

    ∴ Dse (External static indeterminacy) = (2 + 3 + 1) – 3 = 3

    Dsi (Internal static indeterminacy) = 3 × C (for plane frame only)

    Where C = Number of cuts required to open a closed configuration

    Dsi = 3 × 4 = 12

    Force Release = m – 1 (for moment hinge only)

    Where m = Number of members connected to a Moment hinge

    Ds = 3 + 12 – 3 = 12

    For a non-concurrent force system to be in equilibrium
    Solutions

    A body is said to be in equilibrium if the net forces acting on a body is zero and body remains in its stable state i.e. no displacement.

    Closure of Force Polygon Vector sum of all the forces is zero.

    Closure of Funicular Polygon No displacement caused to the action of forces
