QUESTION $1$

The continuous beam shown as Figure $1$ is fixed at A and $D,$ and supported by pin$-$rollers at $B$ and $C.$ The beam is subjected to loading as shown on the Figure. The flexural rigidity $($EI$)$ for the beam section is constant.

Using MOMENT DISTRIBUTION method, determine the reactant bending moments at the supports and calculate the support reactions.

Note: carry out the distribution accurate to $3$ decimal places, stop carry$-$over if the carry$-$over value is less than $1$ and round off the final bending moments to the nearest whole number.

Shear Force and Bending Moment diagrams are NOT required.
