CE 3155 Structural Analysis (part 2)

Tutorial 2

1) Determine the support reactions. EI is constant.




2) Determine the reaction at the supports. Assume nodes 1 and 3 are fixed, and roller
condition at node 3.




3) Determine the support reactions. Assume roller condition at nodes 2 and 3, and
pin condition at node 1. EI is constant.
