Review of Structural Analysis
1. What is Static Indeterminacy and Kinematic Indeterminacy? Describe the different types
of static Indeterminacy using suitable examples.
2. Which of the beams shown below are statically determinate? For these beams also

beams also calculate the degree of static and kinematic indeterminacies.
5. Which of the plane frames shown below are statically determinate? For these beams also
calculate th e degree of static and kinematic indeterminacies.
6. What is Compatibility Equations?
7. State first and second theorem of Castigliano.
8. Explain Moment area method of determining displacements?
9. Explain conjugate beam method of determining displacements?
10. Explain principle of virtual work. Explain Betti’s Law of reciprocal work and Maxwell’s
law of reciprocal deflections. Differentiate between external and internal virtual work.
11. Using the principle of virtual work, calculate the deflection at coordinates shown in the
figure due to i) Bending Moment ii) Shear Force iii) axial Force
12. Figure shows two systems of loads and displacements. Calculate the horizontal
Displacement at B in systems using the reciprocal system.
13. Figure shows two systems of loads and displacements. Calculate the support reactions at
B in systems using the reciprocal system.
14. For the frames calculate the displacements at coordinates shown in the figure using
Castigliano’s theorem. Verify using unit-load method.
15. For the simply supported beam shown in Fig determine the position of point at which
maximum deflection occurs. Also calculate the maximum deflection using the conjugate
beam method.
16. Describe the Force method of analysis? Describe the force method of analysis. How does
the analysis of indeterminate structure differ from that of determinate structure?
