Question: Draw the mechanism when hinges occur at A , D , E and F , c show that P = 0 . 2 7 M

Draw the mechanism when hinges occur at A,D,E and F, c show that P=0.27Mp. Carry out equilibrium checks to show that the BM at the other 2 possible hinge locations is less than the relevant yield moment (i.e. this is the true collapse mechanism). Finally draw the BM diagram at collapse.
(Answer: Other BMs are 0.325Mp and 0.975Mp).
