Do the following for the given beam (E constant) and loadings using the Moment
Distribution Method (remember to show the details of all calculations and
show separate free body diagrams for all statics calculations).
a. Calculate Fixed End Moments
b. Determine Distribution Factors. Note that the Moment of Inertia of AB is
I and of BC is 2I.
c. Calculate member end moments using the Moment Distribution Method.
d. Draw a complete and correct free body diagram for column AB on the
provided graph paper in the location shown. You need to show end shears
and moments but do not need to calculate the axial force in column AB.
e. Draw the resulting shear and moment diagrams for column AB on the
graph paper attached to this test. To draw the shear and moment diagrams
you will need to write equations for both shear and moment using the
given coordinate system (the origin for x is at B and pointed towards A).
Be sure to determine and label all maximum and minimum shears and
moments and their respective locations. Also, clearly label the sign of the
shear in the column and plot the moment diagram on the compression side
of the member.
