    This document contains instructions for a 3-hour structural analysis exam for students studying Quantity Surveying & Construction Economics and Construction Technology & Engineering Management. It lists 4 exam questions covering topics like drawing bending moment and shear force diagrams for loaded beams, failure theories for brittle and ductile materials, replacing a solid circular shaft with a hollow shaft, calculating beam deflections, and determining support reactions, axial loads, shear forces and bending moments for a loaded rigid frame structure. Students are instructed to write legibly in their answer booklets, not leave their seats without permission, and remain in the exam room until their materials have been collected after the exam.

    Question One
    a) From the loaded beam shown below, draw the bending moment and shear force
    diagrams.

    b) Express the shear force V and the bending moment M as a function of the distance x,
    from the left end of the beam. Plot the shear force and the bending moment diagrams.
    (25marks)
    Question Two
    a) In brittle materials failure occurs due to separation of atomic planes. In ductile materials
    yielding occurs not due to separation of atoms but due to sliding of atoms. Discuss the
    failure theory behind the outlined principle.
    (9 marks)
    b) Using the Rankine Theory of structural instability show that the failure compression
    stress (c) of a column of any length is given by c =
    the material constant, Le/r = slenderness ratio.

    = s 1+k (Le/r) , where = k is


    (7 marks)

    c)
    Question Three
    a) A solid circular shaft of diameter 225mm is to be replaced by a hollow shaft in which
    the ratio of the diameters is 1 : 1. Determine the size of the hollow shaft required to
    transmit the same torque as the solid shaft at the same maximum shearing stress.
    Calculate the percentage economy in mass of material used that this change will
    produce.
    (11marks)
