Question: The 4 - span beam with dimensions 3 0 0 mm x 7 0 0 mm as shown Figures 1 ( a ) to 1

The 4-span beam with dimensions 300mm x 700mm as shown Figures 1(a) to 1(c) is an indeterminate beam subjected to three different load cases. Analyse the beam for the three loading cases using "Moment Distribution Method".
(A)Using modified stiffness factor method, determine the distribution factors for all joints.
(B)Calculate the fixed-end moments at all the supports.
(C)Determine the final member end moments by using Moment Distribution Method with modified stiffness factor. [The calculation is considered complete when each of the balancing moments (distribution moments) is less than 0.2 kNm].
(D)Draw the free-body diagrams for the beam.
(E)Determine the reaction forces at all supports.
(F)Draw the shear force diagram envelope diagram for all the three load cases
(G)Draw the bending moment envelope or all the three load cases.
