Structural Analysis Questions and Answers – Analysis of Frames : No Sidesway-IV

This set of Basic Structural Analysis Questions and Answers focuses on “Analysis of Frames : No Sidesway-IV”.

Find deflection unknowns
AB = BC = CD = 20m
All moment options are given in KN/m and all rotations in rad.
EI is constant.

1. How many deflection unknowns will be there in this case for which we would need equations?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Initially, there will be 3 displacement unknowns, but all of them will come out to be zero as it is non-sway frame.

2. How many unknowns will be left finally which are non-zero?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Rotation at points B and C will be left finally to be calculated from equations.

3. How many total slope deflection equations will be written in this question?
a) 8
b) 6
c) 4
d) 3
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: 3 members are there and non joint has a zero moment, so there will be 6 sde equations.

4. What will be the FEMAB ?
a) 80
b) -80
c) 0
d) 160
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: No load is acting on the member AB and same goes for member CD.
