Question: Given a two - span beam. Joint 1 is pinned, joint 3 is fixed, and simple support is located at joint

Given a two-span beam. Joint "1" is pinned, joint "3" is fixed, and simple support is located at joint "2". The beam is loaded by a linearly distributed load acting on the right span as shown in the figure. The beam is linear elastic with constant bending stiffness EI.
1) Use the slope-deflection method to determine the rotations at joints and bending moment at joint "3".(5p)
2) Determine and draw the distribution of the moment and shear force. (2p)
Hint. Remember the sign convention for the bending moment.
Given a two - span beam. Joint " 1 " is pinned,
