A plane frame as shown in Figure $1($b$)$ consists of column AC and beam CD$.$ The column

is subject to a horizontal force of $2\mathrm{.}0$ kN applied at point B and the beam CD is subject to

a vertical uniformly distributed load of $1\mathrm{.}0$ kN$/$m$.$ Column ABC has a moment release

just below joint C$.$

$($i$)$ Draw the shear force diagram $($SFD$)$ with the sign labels and pertinent values. Note

that positive shear is along the clockwise direction. $(5$ marks$)$

$($ii$)$ Draw the bending moment diagram $($BDM$)$ with pertinent values. Noe that bending

moment should be drawn on the tensile side. $(5$ marks$)$

Hint: Because of the moment release $($also called hinge connection$),$ the moment at

joint C must be $0.$Figure $1($b$).$ Frame
