Consider the multi-span beam structure shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Front elevation view of multi-span beam structure.
The cantilever is fully-fixed to the wall at Point A. Points B, D and E are hinges. Horizontal point loads 3P (kN) and P(kN) are applied as shown in Figure 1.
[1a] Compute the degree of indeterminacy for the beam structure.
[1b] Compute the vertical reaction forces at nodes F and G .
[1c] Compute the total force at hinge B.
[1d] Draw and label diagrams showing how the bending moment and axial force vary along the beam, nodes A through H. Clearly indicate on your bending moment diagram, regions that are in tension/compression. Explain in detail
