For the frame shown below, assume that all members are axially rigid with the following properties: E = 29,000 ksi, and I = 400 in.4 . The frame is subjected to a vertical load of 30 kips and at the same time, support D displaces by the amount shown in the figure. Use the principle of superposition to solve this problem. (a) Using hand calculations, find the displacements and rotations at B and C. (b) Draw the shear and moment diagrams (showing all critical values) and the deflected shape.
