State three examples of a static load application and three examples of a dynamic load application.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

State three examples of static load application and three examples of dynamic load application.

Explanation of Solution

Static load application:

It indicates a constant loading of building over an extensive time period. Static loads do not generate any blow or shaking on the building. The examples of this load are car parked at a carpark, the weight of building acting on the surface of the ground, and the force acting on a beam.

Dynamic load application:

Dynamic loads acting on the buildings are those that produce a vibration or a blow on the building. Dynamic loads are imposed on the building for a small time interval. The examples of this load are force due to boring of bore holes, weight of a moving car on the road, and weight due to working equipment.

5-1. Determine the force in each member of the truss, and state if the members are in tension or compression.
I have the correct answer provided, just lookng for a more detailed breadown of how the answer was obtained thanks.
Q1. Statically indeterminate beam analysis. a) Calculate the BMs (bending moments) at all the joints of the beam shown in Fig.1 using the moment distribution method. The beam is subjected to an UDL of w kN/m. L1= 0.4L. Assume the support at C is pinned, and A and B are roller supports. E = 200 GPa, I=250x106 mm². Use the values of w = 50 kN/m and L = 6 b) Draw the shear force and bending diagrams for the entire beam. c) Calculate the BMs at all the joints of the same beam shown in Fig.1 using the slope deflection method. d) Compare the values of BMs obtained using the two methods a) and c) and comment. w kN/m £1m Lm m Fig 1.
