Question: Statically Determinate Frame For the frame shown below, assume all members are AISC W 1 8 x 5 0 . P 1 = 2 0

Statically Determinate Frame
For the frame shown below, assume all members are AISC W18x50. P1=20 kN, P2=40kN and P3=20kN. The length parameter a is 2m.
Part 1.a: By hand calculation, solve the reaction forces, and develop the shear force and moment diagram for the frame. (20%)
Part 1.b: Solve part 1.a using SAP 2000 for the reaction forces, and the shear force and moment diagram. (15%)
Part 1.c: Change the frame member section to W 18x40, and use SAP 2000 to re-solve the reaction forces, and the shear force and moment diagram. (10%)
Part 1.d: Compare results from 2.a,2.b and 2.c, and comment on possible difference. (10%)
