1. GATE 2023 CE (CE1) Q26 (1 mark, Multiple select) – Consider the following three structures: [Figure: Structure I is a beam A-B-C-D-E with four equal spans L. A is a hinge support, C is a roller, E is a…
2. GATE 2023 CE (CE1) Q49 (2 marks, Multiple select) – Consider the beam shown in the figure (not to scale), on a hinge support at end A and a roller support at end B. The beam has a constant flexural…
3. GATE 2024 CE (CE1) Q39 (2 marks, Multiple choice) – The beam shown in the figure is subjected to a uniformly distributed downward load of intensity q between supports A and B. [Figure: a beam…
4. GATE 2024 CE (CE1) Q49 (2 marks, Numerical answer) – The plane truss shown in the figure has 13 joints and 22 members. The truss is made of a homogeneous, prismatic, linearly elastic material. All…
5. GATE 2025 CE (CE2) Q38 (2 marks, Multiple choice) – The figure shows a propped cantilever with uniform flexural rigidity EI (in N.m2) and subjected to a moment M (in N.m). Consider forces and…
6. GATE 2025 CE (CE2) Q52 (2 marks, Numerical answer) – A steel beam supported by three parallel pin-jointed steel rods is shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the beam is 8 107 mm4. Take modulus…
