Question 1.
What is a free-body diagram and why is it necessary?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what needs to be included in such diagrams.
Question 2.
Can you name one method to calculate support reactions in a frame?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what forces act in static systems.
3Question 3.
What is the first step to analyze a statically determinate frame?
- Check for static determinacy
- Draw the shear diagram
- Calculate support reactions
Show hintHide hint
Think about whether equilibrium can be fully established.
4Question 4.
True or False: The moment shown on the tension side of the frame is preferred for concrete design.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the standard conventions used in structural analysis.
Question 5.
A frame has multiple loading points. Describe the process you would take to resolve all forces and moments systematically.
Show hintHide hint
Components and sections can simplify complex structures—use sections wisely.
Question 6.
Construct both shear and bending moment diagrams for a member under uniform loading followed by a point load at mid-length.
Show hintHide hint
Start from one end and integrate the effect of loads incrementally.
