Question: ( Maximum 2 0 points ) Consider the frame shown in figure 2 ( left ) . The ends A and D are fixed while

(Maximum 20 points) Consider the frame shown in figure 2(left). The ends A and D are fixed while the joints B and C are rigid. It is given that L=4m and a uniformly distributed load of magnitude w=1kNm acts on BC. EI is constant throughout. The fixed-end moments are given as.MBC=-wL212 and MCB=wL212. For simplicity, assume that the joints B and C pre-loading and post-loading are at the same vertical level. Answer the following:
(a)(2 points) Does the frame undergo any sidesway? Explain by drawing the deflection diagram.
(b)(6 points) Find the moment at each joint using slope deflection method.
(c)(6 points) Find the moment at each joint using moment distribution method.
(d)(6 points) Draw the bending moment diagram for the frame.
