End hinged support must become roller support.

Ankita said:   10 years ago
Answer should be D as internal hinge get replaced by roller.

Pankaj barwal said:   10 years ago
The right answer is D.

Because in the case of conjugate beam:

A. Fixed end become free end.

B. Hinged end become roller end.

C. Simply support become hinged.

And last one is remain same.

Option (D) should be the answer as internal hinge will get replaced by roller.

Option D is the right answer. Because internal hinge become roller.

Snehal Wankhede said:   9 years ago
It is Option A.

Internal hinge (θ exist & δ exist) become external hinge (V exist & M exist respectively) in the conjugate beam.

Prithvendra Singh said:   9 years ago
Correct option should be D as in conjugate beam method, we replace intermediate free hinges by rollers and rollers by free hinges and if there is fixed joint at one end then it becomes the free end and vice versa and the hinge support at ends remain unchanged.

D is 100% right answer.

Viv said:   1 decade ago
In case of conjugate beam fixed end becomes free and vice versa. Hinge. Remains same.
