ASSIGNMENT # 3
(Due January 30, 2023)
1. (∆4 )v for the loads shown and for an increase of 20o C in the temperature of the
bottom chord members in Fig. 1. Take E = 2.1 × 105 MPa and α = 10−5 /o C. [Ans.
1.2 mm (down)]
2. In Fig. 2, how much longer the members 2, 4, 8 and 12 of the shown truss must
be fabricated in order to produce zero deflection of the joint 5 due to the applied
loads? [Ans. 0.02%]
3. ∆4 for the truss in Fig. 3. Take A = 5000 mm2 and E = 2.1 × 105 MPa for all the
members. [Ans. (∆4 )h = 3.3 mm (right)]
4. (∆c )v for the structure in Fig. 4. Take E = 1.38 × 105 MPa for the member gf
and 2.07 × 106 MPa for all the other members. Cross-sectional areas in square
centimeters are shown in parentheses. [Ans. 3.9 mm (down)]
5. Relative movement between b and e along the line joining these joints for the struc-
ture in Fig. 4. Take E = 1.38 × 105 MPa for the member gf and 2.07 × 106 MPa
for all the other members. Cross-sectional areas in square centimeters are shown in
parentheses. [Ans. 0.07 mm (towards each other)]
