A rigid frame, 3m high and 6m wide, is fixed to the ground - find the shear force and sweep moment, respectively, acting on point A when a lateral force of 500kN is acting on the two extreme situations below. Assume a sheet-like action of the floor. (20 points)
(a) If the beam's sweep stiffness is infinite
(b) If there is no whipping stiffness of the beam
A rigid frame, 3 m high and 6 m wide, is fixed to
