Show me the steps to solve this truss using stiffness method for indeterminate structure.
QUESTION 3
Figure Q3 is a plane truss \( A B C D \) having a pinned supported at \( B \) and \( D \), while \( C \) is supported by roller. By using the Stiffness Method;
a) establish the element stiffness matrices in global coordinate system. (CO1:PO2)(C3)
(10 marks)
b) solve for the unknown degree of freedom. (CO2:PO2)(C4)
(7 marks)
c) determine axial force in member AB if the temperature is increased by \(40^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) affecting all members. Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion equal to \(11.5\times 10^{-6}/{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\).(CO2:PO2)(C5)
Take the axial rigidity, \( E A \), is 300000 kN for every member of the truss.
