Question 1

What is a statically indeterminate structure?

  • A structure with balanced unknowns
  • A structure with more unknowns than equations
  • A structure fully defined by equilibrium

💡 Hint: Think about equilibrium equations.

Question 2

True or False: The initial displacement vector (D0) is usually set to one.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how initial conditions affect structures.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a cantilever beam subjected to a point load at its free end. Use the flexibility method to calculate the displacement and explain the underlying principles in detail.

💡 Hint: Start by determining the equivalent reactions and how they affect the overall structure.

Question 2

Evaluate how the assumption of zero initial displacement might change if a settlement occurs in supports. Discuss its implications on real-world scenarios.

💡 Hint: Consider the effects of ignoring settlements in calculations.
