1. Define the term strain energy.A: Strain Energy of the elastic body is defined as the internal work done by the external load in deforming or straining the body.
2. Define the terms: Resilience and Modulus of resilience.A: Resilience: Strain energy per unit volume of the material is known as strain energy density or resilience.• Modulus of resilience: When the stress is equal to proof stress,
at the elastic limit, the corresponding resilience is known as proof resilience, up =
The proof resilience is known as modulus of resilience. It is the property of the material. It’s unit is N-m/m3= N/m2

5. State Castigliano’s first and second theorem for strain energy.A: Castigliano’s first theorem:For linearly elastic structure, the Castigliano’s first theorem may be defined as the first partial derivative of the strain energy of the structure with respect to any particular force gives the displacement of the point of application of that force in the direction of its line of action.

11. Define fixed beam?A: A fixed beam is a beam whose end supports are such that the end slopes remain zero (or unaltered) and is also called a built-in or encaster beam.
12. What are the disadvantages of fixed beam?A: (i). It is practically difficult to maintain the two ends of the beam at exactly at the same level. Any subsidence of one of the supports, however small it may be, will set up considerable stresses.(ii). Temperatute variations also produce large stresses in a fixed beam.
13. Define theorem of three moments.A: If AB and BC are any two consecutive spans of a continuous beam subjected to an external loading, the support moments and at the supports A, B and C are given by the relation,
Is known as theorem of three moments.
14. What is meant by prop ?A: Simply supported at the free end of cantilever beam is known as prop.

18. What are the advantages and limitations of theorem of three moments?A: Advantages: It is useful to find support moments of a indeterminate beams like continuous beam, fixed beam and propped cantilever beam. The effects of sinking of support will be taken into consideration for a continuous beam.It is also useful if moment of inertia is different for different spans of continuous beams.Limitations: To use this theorem, minimum two spans are required.
