Question 1: Beam Analysis
Two beams (ABC and CD) are connected using a pin immediately to the left of Point C. The pin acts
as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces
can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a
roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied
to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB
and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these
moments is PL.

To analyse this structure, you will:
a) Construct the free body diagrams for the structure shown above. When constructing your
FBD's you must make section cuts at point B and C. You can represent the structure as three
separate beams. Following this, construct the…
A cantilevered rectangular prismatic beam has three loads applied. 10,000N in the positive x
direction, 500N in the positive z direction and 750 in the negative y direction. You have been tasked
with analysing the stresses at three points on the beam, a, b and c.

To assess the design, you will:
a) Determine state of stress at all points (a, b and c). These points are located on the exterior
surface of the beam. Point a is located along the centreline of the beam, point b is 15mm
from the centreline and point c is located on the edge of the beam. When calculating the
stresses you must consider the stresses due to bending and transverse shear. Present your
results in a table and ensure that your sign convention is clearly shown (and applied
consistently!)

7.82 Water flows from the reservoir on the left to the reservoir
on the right at a rate of 16 cfs. The formula for the head losses
in the pipes is h₁ = 0.02(L/D)(V²/2g). What elevation in the left
reservoir is required to produce this flow? Also carefully sketch
the HGL and the EGL for the system. Note: Assume the head-loss
formula can be used for the smaller pipe as well as for the larger
pipe. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations.
