Q2 (30 marks) – Statically indeterminate frame analysis by the force method. . Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram for the frame indicating the salient values.

Q3 (20 marks) – Statically indeterminate frame analysis by the slope deflection method.. Calculate the value of the maximum BM and maximum

Q4 (25 marks) – Statically indeterminate beam analysis by the moment distribution method.

Q5 (40 marks) – Statically determinate or indeterminate truss analysis by the stiffness method. Determine all the nodal displacements and member forces for the truss given in
problems. Repeat the problem using the Strand7 finite element software package. Submit a hard copy from Strand7 showing nodal displacements and member forces (highlight these in the hard copy). Give a table showing the comparison of member forces from the stiffness method (manual calculations) and Strand7 analysis package. Also submit a hard copy of the deformed configuration of the truss using a displacement scale of 10%.

Q6 (30 marks) – Statically determinate or indeterminate beam analysis by the stiffness method. Determine all the reactions at the supports and rotation at node 2, for the beam . Repeat the problem using the Strand7 finite element software package. Give a table comparing the stiffness method (manual calculations) results with that of Strand7 results.
