Question: ( 2 5 ) 1 . Consider the 2 D truss structure shown below which is the same as in HW # 4 Problem 1

(25)1. Consider the 2D truss structure shown below which is the same as in HW #4 Problem 1-A. Assume
that there are foundation settlements, uy2=-0.5mm and uy4=-0.1mm. Start your solution from the
global unconstrained stiffness matrix and the global load vector computed in HW #4 Problem 1-A
and answer the following questions. Use the same parameters as in HW #4: A=0.01m2 and E=
200 GPa for each element.
(i) Determine the vertical deflection at node 1.
(ii) Determine the axial forces in every member.
(iii) Determine the reaction forces at supports.
(iv) Check the overall equilibrium of the structure: Check the resultant external forces and
moment about a point.
(v) Check equilibrium of joint 1.
