Question: Given a T - frame with width ( a + 2 a ) and height ( b ) . A vertical

Given a T-frame with width \( a+2 a \) and height \( b \). A vertical force \( P \) is acting at the tip in \( D \). All beams in the frame are linear elastic and can be considered as Timoshenko beams. Solve the following problems by the principle of virtual work.
1) Determine the vertical displacement \( w_{D}\) at the location of the force. (5p)
2) Determine the rotation \(\theta_{C}\) at the joint \( C \).(5p)
3) Determine the vertical displacement \( w_{B}\) at the left support in \( B \).(5p)
Given a T - frame with width \ ( a + 2 a \ ) and
