Test: Types of Supports - Question 1
Save

A simple support offers only _______ reaction normal to the axis of the beam.

Detailed Solution: Question 1

In a simple support there will not be any resistance to horizontal loads, moment or rotation. In fact, it only offers a vertical reaction normal to the axis of the beam.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 2
Save

________ support develops support moment.

Detailed Solution: Question 2

A fixed support offers resistance against horizontal and vertical movement and against the rotation of the member and that in turn developers support moment.

Name the support from following figure.

Detailed Solution: Question 3

In the above figure we can observe that the beam is supported at both the ends so the beam is fixed at both ends. Hence the support is a fixed support.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 4

“Hinged support offers resistance against rotation”.

Detailed Solution: Question 4

A hinged support offers resistance against horizontal and vertical movement but not against rotation. It support offers a vertical and horizontal reaction only.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 5
Save

Roller support is same as _____

Detailed Solution: Question 5

The support reaction is normal to the axis of the beam. It facilitates the vertical support. It helps the beam to overcome the temperature stresses effectively. It is similar to simple support.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 6
Save

To avoid _____ stresses in beams, one end of the beam is placed on the rollers.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Roller support reaction is normal to the axis of the beam. In case the beam subjected to trust or to avoid temperature stresses in the beam, one end of the beam is placed on roller because it facilitate free horizontal movement of end. It is similar to simple support.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 7
Save

Hinge support is called as __________

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Hinge support is one, in which the position is fixed but not the direction. In their words hinged support offers resistance against vertical and horizontal moments.it is fixed in such a way that it resembles like a pin joint.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 8
Save

For a simply supported beam, the moment at the support is always __________

Detailed Solution: Question 8

As the moment is a product of force and perpendicular distance, the flexural moment at the support is zero because there is no distance at the support.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 9
Save

Find the reaction at simple support A?

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Total load = 10 kN
Taking moment at A = 0
4 × R @ B – 10 = 0
R @ B = 2.5 kN
Reaction at A = 10 – 2.5 = 7.5kN.

Test: Types of Supports - Question 10
Save

Hinged supports offers vertical and ________ reaction.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

A hinged support offers a vertical and horizontal reaction. The pin jointed support offers resistance against horizontal and vertical movements but not against rotation movement.
