    This document contains instructions for a structural analysis exam with two questions. Question 1 asks students to use the direct stiffness method to analyze an L-shaped bracket structure and set up but not solve the stiffness equations. Question 2 asks students to analyze a fixed frame subjected to a load, considering the stiffness values of unknown joints to frame the global stiffness matrix. Students are instructed to answer all questions and that IS codes are allowed.

    BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE, PILANI

    HYDERBAD CAMPUS
    First Semester 2014-2015
    TEST – II (Open Book)
    Course No: CE G617
    Course Name: Advanced Structural Analysis Date: 31/10/2014
    Duration: 60 min (09:30 to 10:30AM) Maximum Marks: 30

    Instructions: Answer all the questions. IS codes are allowed.

    1) Use the Direct Stiffness Method to analyze the structure with L-Shaped Bracket shown in
    Figure . E is uniform, and the relative values of I are shown in Figure . Neglect all axial
    deformations, i.e., assume that all members are axially inextensible. What are the unknown
    nodal displacements for this problem? Set up the stiffness equations {P} = [K] {Δ} for these
    free degrees of freedom but do NOT solve these for the displacements.Also frame the load vector
    corresponding to the given loading. Given L = 4m, P = 20kN. (14M)

    2) Consider the frame shown in the figure below. The frame is fixed at nodes 1 and 3, and is
    subjected to a load of 22 kN applied at node 2. Assume I = 16.6 x 10 -5 m4, J = 4.6 x 10-5 m4, G =
    84 GPa, and E = 210 GPa for all elements. Analyze the frame. (Hint: Consider the stiffness
    values corresponding to unknown joint and proceed by framing the global stiffness matrix
    accordingly). (16M)
