Structural Engineering Assignment 1

The document outlines an assignment for a structural engineering course. It includes 13 questions related to analyzing determinacy, deflection, influence lines, and load capacity of beams, trusses, and frames under different loading conditions. Students are asked to find degrees of indeterminacy, deflections using methods like moment area theorem and unit load method, draw influence lines, and calculate support reactions and maximum loads. The assignment is to be completed between November 30, 2015 and December 6, 2015.
