Problem 1. A uniform live load of 2.8 kN/m and a single concentrated live force of 20 kN are placed on the floor beams. If the beams also support a uniform dead load of 700 N/m, determine (a) the maximum positive shear in panel BC of the girder and (b) the maximum positive moment in the girder at G.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

The higher the astm grain-size number, the coarser the grain is. a)-true b)-false
