2 Deflection methods. An excavated hole is supported by the brace mechanism shown in
Figure 2. The hole is 6m deep and spans 16 meters. The horizontal brace member has
pinned connections to steel plates on either side of the hole. The vertical member is
rigidly connected at the base. The vertical and horizontal members are rigidly
connected. EI is constant. The horizontal member supports a uniformly distributed load
of 8kNm that spans from halfway between A and B to C. Fixed end moment equations
are given in Figure 3.(20 pts).
A Analysis: Using the slope deflection method, determine the internal moments and
shears at joint A,B,C, and D.
AND
B Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for this frame.
