Explanation Calculation: Sketch the trapezoidal section as shown in Figure 1. Find the hydrostatic force using the formula. R = γ y ¯ A Find the location of point of application of resultant force using the formula: y P = I S S ′ y ¯ A Here, R is the resultant of the hydrostatic forces acting on the gate and y P is the depth to the point of application of R . Find the centroid y ¯ A using the relation: Refer to Figure 1. y ¯ A = ∑ y ¯ A = [ h + 0.17 ] ( 1 2 × 1.2 × 0.51 ) + [ h + 0.34 ] ( 1 2 × 0.84 × 0.51 ) = [ h + 0.17 ] ( 0.306 ) + [ h + 0.34 ] ( 0.2142 ) = 0.306 h + 0.05202 + 0.2142 h + 0.0728 = ( 0.5202 h + 0.12484 ) m 3 Find the resultant force ( R ) acting on the gate using the relation: R = γ y ¯ A = p y ( y ¯ A ) (1) Substitute 10 3 kg / m 3 for p , 9.81 m / s 2 for y , and ( 0.5202 h + 0.12484 ) m 3 for y ¯ A in Equation (1). R = 10 3 ( 9.81 ) ( 0.5202 h + 0.12484 ) = 5 , 103.162 ( h + 0.24 ) N Find the moment of inertia ( I S S ′ ) 1 using the relation as shown below: ( I S S ′ ) 1 = I x + A d 2 = b h 3 36 + ( 1 2 b h ) d 2 (2) Here, b is the width of the trapezoidal section, d is vertical distance from the centroid of the segment to the neutral axis, and h is the height of the trapezoidal section. Substitute 1.2 m for b , 0.51 m for h , and ( h + 0.17 ) m for d in Equation (2). ( I S S ′ ) 1 = 1.2 × 0.51 3 36 + ( 1 2 × 1.2 × 0.51 ) ( h + 0.17 ) 2 = 0.0044217 + 0.306 ( h 2 + 0.0289 + 0.33 h ) = 0.306 h 2 + 0.10404 h + 0.013265 = ( 0.306 h 2 + 0.10404 h + 0.013265 ) m 4 Find the moment of inertia ( I S S ′ ) 2 using the relation as shown below: ( I S S ′ ) 2 = I ¯ x 2 + A d 2 = b h 3 36 + ( 1 2 b h ) d 2 (3) Substitute 0.84 m for b , 0.51 m for h , and ( h + 0.34 ) m for d in Equation (3).

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and af…

A prismatic beam is built into a structure. You can consider the boundary conditions at A and B to be fixed supports. The beam was originally designed to withstand a triangular distributed load, however, the loading condition has been revised and can be approximated by a cosine function as shown in the figure below. You have been tasked with analysing the structure. As the beam is prismatic, you can assume that the bending rigidity (El) is constant. wwo cos 2L x A B Figure 3: Built in beam with a varying distributed load In order to do this, you will: a. Solve the reaction forces and moments at point A and B. Hint: you may find it convenient to use the principal of superposition. (2%) b. Plot the shear force and bending moment diagrams and identify the maximum shear force and bending moment. (2%) c. Develop an expression for the vertical deflection. Clearly state your expression in terms of x. (1%)

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. Moment Release A B с ° MB = PL Mc= = PL -L/2- -L/2- → P D Figure 1: Two beam arrangement for question 1. 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…
