The frame structure is loaded as shown in the figure. Support A can settle into the ground and
soil subgrade reaction is considered by a spring having a constant of 3600kNm.
a) Estimate elastic curve (deformed shape) of the structure under given loadings.
b) Calculate unknown joint displacements using Slope-Deflection Method.
E=2108kNm2 and I=6.57210-5m4
Note: All members are inextensible (no axial deformation).
Only bending deformations will be considered!
Support A is a pin support and does not resist to bending moments.
The frame structure is loaded as shown in the
