D can't be the answer.

Because at support c there should be only angular disdplacement not linear displacement in conjucate beam.

Durgesh thakur said: 8 years ago

Answer is D because point c is roller and in conjugate beam roller is converted into hinge and hinge into roller and vice versa.

In case of conjugate beam fixed end becomes free and vice versa. Internal hinge becomes interior hinge/roller and vice versa.

Asaithambi said: 9 years ago

Normally, conjugate beam fixed end is converted free end. Roller support is a shift to hinged point. So the answer is D.

Hinge means failure before to create a hinge.

Hinge is formed fixed and external load in maximum at mid point.

Umar said: 5 years ago

Option D is correct because in conjugate beam internal hinge repassed to roller & roller support hinge.

Rishu raj said: 8 years ago

I think option A is correct, internal hinge change to internal support and roller=roller and hinge = hinge.

Mercyevanjaline said: 8 years ago

Option B is correct because fixed becomes the free end, hinge becomes hinge, and roller becomes a roller.

Fixed becomes free.
Internal hinge becomes a roller.
Roller becomes an internal hinge.
Hinge is a hinge.

In case of the conjugate beam, fixed end becomes free and vice versa and Hinge Remains same.
