Question Paper - Final - CE G617

This document appears to be a final exam for a structural engineering course. It contains 5 questions related to structural analysis: 1) Determining displacements and reaction forces for a system of 5 springs. 2) Calculating properties like deflection and moment for a beam on an elastic foundation. 3) Finding stresses in a frame punch press section. 4) Deriving the stiffness matrix for a cantilever shear wall element. 5) Using a flexibility matrix method to find reactions and moments at supports.
