Question: Problem 3 a ) Compute by hand k f u k , and k m for members a and b using E = 2 9

Problem 3
a) Compute by hand kfu
k, and km for members a and b using E=29,000ksi,I=150in4, and A=4in2. To help standardize the grading, orient all the members such that for any member with end joints indexed by i and j,j>i.
b) Identify the free degrees of freedom and write the symbolic displacement matrix {uf}
c) Write the load matrix {Pf}
d) Assemble the symbolic system stiffness matrix considering only free degrees of freedom Kff
e) Use MatLab to solve for the displacements and member end reactions.
f) Use the member end reactions to verify the solution satisfies equilibrium.
g) Use the member end reactions to construct the axial, shear and moment diagrams.
h) Model the frame in Sap2000 and report the axial, moment and shear diagrams and the displacement of Nodes 2,3 and 4. Please neglect self weight of the elements and shear deformation of the elements.
