Question: ( a ) Calculate the vertical deflection at joint U 3 on the truss shown below, A E = 8 4 . 5 1 0

(a) Calculate the vertical deflection at joint U3 on the truss shown below, AE=84.5103kN for all members.a) For the beams shown below, draw the influence lines from points (A) through(E) For:
i) bending moment at point (B)
ii) shear force immediately left of point (C), and
iii) bending moment at point (D)
For each influence line, calculate and indicate the value of the influence
coefficient that has the maximum absolute value.
b) A vehicle, which is idealized as three point loads shown on the left below, moves across
the beam structure shown. Calculate and show the influence line for shear force at point
(B). Also calculate the largest shear force at the point(B) that would occur while the
idealized vehicle crosses the structure.
(b) If the 40kN vertical load were at joint U3 instead of joint U2, what would be the vertical deflection be at join! U2?
