1. Frames are classified either as statically determinate, indeterminate and unstable. Analysis of frame
depends on this classification; thus it is basic to classify first under which the frame belongs. Using
the given equation, classify each frame and if statically indeterminate determine the degree of static
indeterminacy. Where: m = member Values of ec
3m + r < 3j + ec à statically unstable frame r = reaction internal hinge = 1ec
3m + r = 3j + ec à statically determinate frame j = joints internal roller = 2 ec
ec = equation members meeting @ an
3m + r > 3j + ec à statically indeterminate frame
of condition internal hinge (ec = m-1)

5. A T-section of uniform thickness of 1cm has a flange breadth of 10cm and an overall depth of 10cm.
Estimate the allowable bending moments about the principal axes id the bending stress is limited to
150MPa.
6. A steel strip of cross section 5cm X 1.25cm is connected by 2 bolts to two copper strips, each 5cm X
0.9375cm. Show that neglecting friction and deformation of the bolts, a pull applied to the joint will
be shared by the bolts in the ration 3:4. Assume E for steel is twice that for copper.
8. Two plate each 1cm thick are connected by riveting a single strap plates through 2 rows of rivets in
each plates. The diameter of the rivets is 2cm, and the distance between rivet center along the
breadth connection is 12.5cm. Assuming the other unstated dimension are adequate, calculate the
strength of the joint per meter breadth in tension allowing
75MPa shearing in the rivets and a tensile stress of 90MPa in
the plates.
