Question: For the beam shown in figure below, using the stiffness method, calculate all the unknown nodal displacements and member forces in beams ab and bc
For the beam shown in figure below, using the stiffness method, calculate all
the unknown nodal displacements and member forces in beams ab and bc
Temperature: Member AB has temperature change such that:
Tu Tt and Tc Section is symmetric with height in and alpha times ftft
Fabrication error: Member BC has out of straightness fabrication error ebc in
Support Settlement: The support A settles down by in
For all members:
E kft
I ft
L ft
Area: Aab ft
and Abc ft
Spring: ks EIL
Note: I and A is different for members AB and BC and concentrated force is applied at
the center of the span.
Hint: Use a consistent unit system and you need to include axial dofs in this problem.
