CELE Past Board Exam Problem
Situation 27: Given: S = 4.3 m, θ = 45⁰
1. Which of the following gives the maximum ordinate of the influence line for the force in member JK?
A. -1.0 C. -0.5
B. 1.0 D. 0.5
2. Calculate the maximum force (kN) in member JK due to a moving highway truck load as follows:
W1 = 19.6 kN
W2 = 78.4 kN
Distance between loads = 4.3 m
A. 88.20 (T) C. 73.46 (T)
B. 88.20 (C) D. 73.46 (C)
3. Determine the maximum force (kN) in member JK due to moving highway lane load as follows:
Uniformly distributed load = 9.35 kN/m
Concentrated load = 116 kN
A. 196.4 (T) C. 181.48 (C)
B. 196.4 (C) D. 181.48 (T)
