1. The geometry and the equivalent static load on a typical pier supporting a typical bridge is shown below. Use two one dimensional linear elements to compute displacement at the top of the pier by finite element method. Assume specific weight of the concrete is 25 kN/m³ and its Young's modulus is E = 29×106 kN/m². 5 KN 5 kN Ţ 0.5 m X 1.5 m 0.5 m Part marking rule for this problem: Up to derivation of governing differential equation = 5 marks Up to derivation of element stiffness matrix = 10 marks Computation of displacement at the top i.e. full solution = 15 marks 2 m
