Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A continuous beam has supports at both ends and is subjected to a uniform load across its length. Calculate the internal moments using the stiffness method, and explain how the degrees of freedom play a role in this calculation.

💡 Hint: Draw a diagram to visualize the beam and identify the points of interest for your moments.

Question 2

Given a frame structure, analyze its kinematic indeterminacy when the joints can rotate freely and calculate if additional members are required to achieve static determinacy.

💡 Hint: Keep track of each element in the structure while calculating!
