Structural Analysis I

Assignment: Influence lines

____________________________________________________________________________________

Q1) For the beam shown below, draw the influence lines of

• vertical reactions at supports B, E, and G

• shear and bending moment at point F
• shear at internal hinge D
• bending moment at E
• knowing that dead loading is 1.5kN/m2 and live loading is 3.5kN/m2, identify the cases for the
maximum negative and maximum moment at point F and calculate their corresponding values.

Q2) Draw the influence line for the force in members identified by (x) in the truss shown below
