CE 382 - Structural Analysis
Team Homework Assignment #6
Due Date: Thursday – March 24, 2016
1. For the given beam problem above, calculate and draw the influence line equation for the
reactions at A and D, shear at C and the moment at B.
2. For the frame shown to the right, calculate and
draw the influence line for the vertical and
horizontal reactions at A, shear at C, and
bending moment at B. The unit load moves
from B to D.
3. For the truss structure shown below, calculate the influence lines for member DK and
FK measuring the unit load from C to H, i.e., x = 0 at joint C.
BONUS POINT: Identify the member(s) in the truss for
which the influence line diagram can be obtained by
inspection.

Team Homework Assignment #7
Due Date: Tuesday – March 29, 2016
1. For the truss shown on the
right, calculate the maximum
vertical reaction at G, maximum tension and compression
forces in members BF and
GF. NOTE: The stringers on
the beam ensure that only
joint loading is applied to the
truss.
2. For the simply supported beam
shown on the right, calculate the
maximum vertical reaction at A
and the maximum positive
bending moment at the center of
the beam.
