Analyse the beam in Figure 1 using the Force Method with the primary structure created by inserting hinges at A,
B and C(hence the bending moments at A,B and C are the 'redundant forces'). Draw the free body diagram, the
shear force diagram, and the bending moment diagram. Assume that the flexural rigidity EI is constant.
Write answers in the space provided below and submit this page, along with a cover page and all
workings attached.
Free Body diagrams
Shear Force Diagrams
Bending Moment Diagrams
Note: Please use the graphical integration technique instead of using using functions integration. AgF(xg) where A is the area of G function. F(xg) is the value of Ag centroid on F function. Also calculate the flexibility coefficients.
