Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. A "H" shaped frame of uniform flexural rigidity EI is loaded as shown in the figure. The relative outward displacement between points K and O is
    1. RLh2
      EI
    2. RL2h
      EI
    3. RLh2
      3EI
    4. RL2h
      3EI
Correct Option: A

Deflection diagram:

Moment in member JN = R.h.

Slope at N or J =
Rh.L
2EI

Deflection at O or k =
RhL
× h
2EI

=
Rh2L
2EI

Relative outward displacement of K and O is
= 2 ×
Rh2L
2EI

=
Rh2L
EI
