Problem I: (45 points)
The rigid beam ABCD shown Figure (I-a) is subjected to a uniform distributed load w and a
concentrated load of 4 kN as shown. Ignore the own weight of the beam and assume linear
elastic behavior and small deformations.
PART [1]
Knowing that w = 4 kN/m, determine the following:
1) The support reactions at B and C. (DOUBLE CHECK YOUR REACTIONS) (10 points)
2) The shearing force diagram (S.F.D) and bending moment diagram (B.M.D)
of the beam ABCD.

PART [2]
The structure given in Part [1] was modified such that the supports at B and C were replaced by
steel rods BF and CG as shown in Figure (I-b). Rods BF and CG are pin connected at both ends
thus resist only axial loads (Beam ABCD will behave the same as in Part 1). The rods have the
following properties:
• d1
: Diameter of Bar BF
• d2
: Diameter of Bar CG
• L = 3.0 m.
: Length of Bars BF and CG
• E = 200 x 106 kPa (kN/m2)
: Modulus of elasticity of steel
• σy = 250,000 kPa
: Yield stress of steel in tension and compression
• F.S = 2.0
: Factor of safety
Solve the following:
1) The maximum value of w that the structure can safely carry if the diameter of rod BF is
10mm and the diameter of rod CG is twice as much; i.e., d2=2d1=20mm. Assume the
beam is always safe.

Problem II: (55 points)
The steel bar ABC shown in Figure (II-a) has a uniform thickness equal to 10mm and consists of
two parts; a tapered bar AB and a rectangular bar BC, as shown. The bar is subjected to the
shown concentrated loads, P1 and P2. Figure (II-b) shows that the tapered bar AB will deflect at
B a value of 1.73287x10-3mm due to a load of 1kN applied at end B, as shown. Assume small
deformation - elastic behavior - and neglect own weight of the bar. The bar has the following
properties:
• E = 200,000 MPa (N/mm2)
: Modulus of elasticity of steel
• σyield= 250 MPa (N/mm2)
: Yield stress of material
PART [1]
• Calculate axial stresses at points C and D.
(10 points)
• Calculate the maximum axial stress in the bar ABC and discuss its safety. (10 points)
• Calculate the vertical displacement of points B and C.
(10 points)
• Compute axial stiffness of the bar ABC.
