Q1. A 2D frame is shown below. Assume that the modulus of the elasticity \((E)\) is 70 GPa for all members. The moment of inertia \((I)\) and the area for each element are \(2\times 10^{-4}\mathrm{~m}^{4}\) and \(4\times 10^{-2}\)\( m^{2}\), respectively. Ignore the self-weight of the members.
a. Obtain the structure (global) stiffness matrix by direct superposition,
b. Determine the nodal displacements,
c. Determine the support reactions in the global coordinate,
d. Determine the element forces in the local coordinate,
e. Draw shear and bending moment diagrams,
f. Verify the nodal displacements and forces in (b) to (d) using either the provided MATLAB program (MSA), SAP2000, OR SkyCiv. As a minimum, provide a side-by-side table including hand-calculated and program-calculated responses.
