Beam $$PQRS$$ has internal hinges in span $$PQ$$ and $$RS$$ as shown. The beam may be subjected to a moving distributed vertical load of maximum intensity $$4$$ $$kN/m$$ of any length anywhere on the beam. The maximum absolute value of the shear force (in $$kN$$) that can occur due to this loading just to the right of support $$Q$$ shall be:

The pin-jointed $$2$$-$$D$$ truss is loaded with a horizontal force of $$15$$ ݇ܰ at joint S and another $$15$$ ݇ܰ vertical force at joint $$U,$$ as shown.Find the force in member $$RS$$ (in $$kN$$ ݇ܰ) and report your answer taking tension as positive and compression as negative. _____________

As per $$IS$$ $$800:2007$$ the cross-section in which the extreme fiber can reach the yield stress, but cannot develop the plastic moment of resistance due to failure by local buckling is classified as

A propped cantilever made of a prismatic steel beam is subjected to a concentrated load $$P$$ at mid span as shown.

If the magnitude of loadܲ is increased till collapse and the plastic moment carrying capacity of steel beam section is $$90$$ $$kN$$-$$m$$, ݇ܰ݉determine reaction ܴ$$R$$(in ݇ܰ$$kN$$)(correct to $$1$$-decimal place) using plastic analysis. ____________
