Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium is a newly constructed stadium in Kuala
Terengganu, Malaysia to host the 2008 SUKMA Games. On 2nd June 2009, a major part
of the roof collapsed just over a year after its completion. Based on your basic
knowledge in the principles of structural analysis, you are required to carry out a case
study on this incident.
In this assignment, you are required to:
a. Provide some background of the case study. (5 Marks)
b. Describe the occurrence of the incident. (5 Marks)
c. Discuss the possible causes of the structural failure. To help your discussions,
you may study the case from the perspectives of structural loading, section
properties, and stress-strain behaviours of the structural elements (i.e. beam,
column, truss etc.). (10 Marks)
d. Identify the lessons learnt from the case study. (10 Marks)
Prepare a report based on the above requirements. Suitable and related photographs
and figures are to be included wherever necessary. All references need to be properly
cited.
Question 2 (20 marks)
Figure below shows a symmetrical roof truss system. You are required to:
a. Determine the stability and determinacy of the truss system. (5 Marks)
b. Find all the support reactions at Points A and G. (7 Marks)
c. Determine the forces in all truss members using method of joints. (8 Marks)

Question 3 (30 marks)
Prestressed concrete beam is becoming increasingly popular in the modern architectural
and building structural systems these days.
In this assignment, you are required to:
e. Briefly introduce prestressed concrete beam. (5 Marks)
f. Explain how the prestressed concrete beam is manufactured. (10 Marks)
g. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of using prestressed concrete beam
in the building construction. (15 Marks)
Prepare a report based on the above requirements. You are encouraged to include
examples of building structures which use prestressed concrete beam. Suitable and
related photographs and figures are to be included wherever necessary. All references
need to be properly cited.
Question 4 (20 marks)
Figure below shows a reinforced concrete beam subjected to a uniform distributed load
and 2 point loads. You are required to:
a. Find all the support reactions at Points A and B. (4 Marks)
b. Derive the shear force V(x) and bending moment M(x) as a function of distance
(x) from the extreme left hand side of the beam. (16 Marks)
