3.10 The frame structure is constructed with structural steel I-beams of given cross-
section dimensions and is used to support a uniform load of 6 kN/m as shown
below. Use ANSYS Workbench to determine the deformation and stresses in the
frame members.

3.11 The following bridge structure is used to carry a uniform load of 50 kN/m on
the bridge surface. Use ANSYS Workbench to determine the deformation and
stresses in the bridge if structural steel I-beams of the given cross-section are
used.
