PA Assignment 3
Part 1 { Due 5:30PM, Monday, Nov. 7, 2011
For Monday, Nov. 7, submit Q1 and Q2 or Q3.
Question 1 [16 marks]
Use the principle of virtual work (virtual displacements) to determine each of the four external
reactions in the following frame. In each case, impose a virtual displacement so that only one of
the reactions does any work.
20kN
30kN
12kN/m
8m 4m
6m
Question 2 [8 marks]
Use the principle of virtual work (virtual displacements) to determine the internal shear force
and bending moment at point a in the following beam.
2m 6m 2m 2m 4m
16kN/m
48kN

b
Question 3 [12 marks]
Draw complete in
uence lines for the following quantities:
1. Vertical reaction at c.
2. Shear force at point b.
3. Bending moment at point c.
For a concentrated live load of 40 kN, and a distributed live load of 8 kN/m, compute the
extreme values for each of the above quantities. Clearly show the load pattern used for each.

the Mueller-Breslau principle to sketch in
uence lines for:

2. Horizontal reaction at g.
3. Bending moment in the frame at joint j.
4. Bending moment in the frame midway between b and c.
5. Bending moment in the frame at point c.
