Q1:

Which one of the following conditions, both elastic and plastic methods of analysis of indeterminate structures have to satisfy ?

A yield condition

B mechanism condition

C equilibrium

D compatibility of deformation

ANS:D - compatibility of deformation

Conditions to be satisfied in Elastic analysis of indeterminate structures:
1) Yield condition
2) Equilibrium condition

Conditions to be satisfied in Plastic analysis of indeterminate structures:
1) Mechanism condition
2) Equilibrium condition

Hence option C is correct.
