Homework # 1
CIVE311 – STRUCTURES I
Spring 2007-08
Topics:
Review of Equilibrium/Statics
Trusses
Shear and Bending Moment Diagrams in Beams
Application on SAP2000
Textbook:
Structural Analysis, by R.C. Hibbeler
Prentice-Hall, 5th Edition
Problems:
• Chapter 3:
7, 10 (Truss)
Solve for reactions and all member forces (Note symmetry in 7)
• Chapter 4:
12, 1, 2, 21, 16, 36, 39, 40 (Beams)
All Problems: Compute reactions and draw V and M diagrams
and sketch deflected shape
Problem 12:
Use P=20 kN; L=3 m
Problem 16:
Use P=20 kN; L=2 m
Note: Ordering of problems is by increasing level of difficulty
with SAP2000 (below).
• Solve all problems using SAP2000
• Plot Undeformed Shape + Supports + Loads
• Plot Deformed Shape
• Plot Reactions
• Plot Member Forces (Axial for Trusses, Shear and Bending for Beams)
• File Labeling should be consistent with your problem numbers

Manual Solution – Wednesday February 20, 2008 (Make copy for SAP check)
SAP2000 Solution – Wednesday March 5, 2008
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Homework should be submitted on time.
• Use FE paper, staple, and submit in FEA folder.
• Homework should be clean, organized, and professional.
• Think of yourself as a professional engineer who is submitting a project (your
homework) to a client (your teacher), who, if not satisfied, will not give you
another job.
If you do not satisfy the above, your homework may be returned to you without
grading.
