Question: Figure 2 shows a three - span continuous beam under uniformly distributed load of ( 3 0 mathrm { kN } /

Figure 2 shows a three-span continuous beam under uniformly distributed load of \(30\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}\) on the first span, a concentrated load of 200 kN acting at the middle of the third span and a concentrated moment of 100 kNm at node 3. Model the continuous beam using three beam elements with code numbers defined in Figure 2. Take \( E=200\mathrm{GPa}\) and \( I=200\left(10^{6}\right)\mathrm{mm}^{4}\). Use Stiffness method to solve this problem.
1) Determine the nodal displacements (and rotations) at nodes 2,3 and 4.
2) Determine the reactions at supports.
3) Plot the shear force and bending moment diagrams.
