Important Instructions to examiners:
1) The answers should be examined by key words and not as word-to-word as given in the model answer
scheme.
2) The model answer and the answer written by candidate may vary but the examiner may try to assess the
understanding level of the candidate.
3) The language errors such as grammatical, spelling errors should not be given more importance. (Not
applicable for subject English and Communication Skills.)
4) While assessing figures, examiner may give credit for principal components indicated in the figure. The
figures drawn by the candidate and those in the model answer may vary. The examiner may give credit
for any equivalent figure drawn.
5) Credits may be given step wise for numerical problems. In some cases, the assumed constant values may
vary and there may be some difference in the candidate’s answers and the model answer.
6) In case of some questions credit may be given by judgment on part of examiner of relevant answer based
on candidate’s understanding.
7) For programming language papers, credit may be given to any other program based on
equivalent concept.

RB×6+40 = 100×1 ⸫ RB = 10kN 1
∑Fy = 0
RA+RB = 100kN
RA+10 = 100kN ⸫ RA= 90kN

II) SF Calculation:
SF at A = +90kN
CL = +90kN 1
CR = +90 -100 =-10kN
BL = -10kN
B = -10+10 = 0kN (⸫ ok)
III) BM Calculation:
BM at A and B = 0 (⸫ Supports are simple)
C = 90×1 = +90kN-m
DL = +90×3 - 100×2 = +70kN-m 2 6
DR = +10×3 = +30kN-m
OR DR = +90×3 - 100×2 - 40 = +30kN-m

Q.5 (c) Draw shear force and bending moment diagram for an overhang
beam loaded as shown in fig.3

Ans.

I) Reaction Calculation:
∑MA = 0
RB×4 = (10×4)×2+5×5 ⸫ RB = 26.25kN
1
∑Fy = 0
RA + RB = 10×4 +5kN
RA + 26.25 = 45kN ⸫ RA= 18.75kN

II) SF Calculation:
SF at A = +18.75kN
BL = +18.75 - (10×4) = - 21.25kN
1
BR = - 21.25 +26.25 = +5kN
B = +5 - 5 = 0kN (⸫ ok)

III) BM Calculation:
BM at A = 0 (Support A is simple) 1 6
C=0 (Support C is free)
B = - 5×1 = -5kN-m

IV) Maximum BM Calculation:

SF at D = 0
18.75X - 10 X = 0 ⸫ X = 1.875m from support A
BMmax at D = + 18.75 × 1.875 – 10×1.875×0.9375 1
BMmax= + 17.578kN-m
