1 (a) Four point loads of 120 kN, 160 kN, 160 kN and 80 kN spaced 2m between consecutive loads move on a girder of 25m span from left to right with the 120 kN load leading. Calculate the maximum bending moment at a point 10m from left support Also, calculate the position and value of the absolute bending moment.

1 (b) Draw the ILD for shear force and bending moment for a section at 6m from left support of a simply supported beam 15m long. Hence calculate the maximum bending moment and shear force at the section due to a uniformly distributed rolling load of length 5m and intensity 40 kN/m rum.

8 (a) Explain the following:
i) Vibration and oscillation
ii) Free vibration and forced vibration.
iii) Damping and types of damping.
iv) Degree of freedom and single degree of freedom system.
