The shear frame shown in Figure (a) is constructed of rigid girder and flexible columns. The frame supports uniformly distributed load of total weight of 120kN and the frame is subjected to step force with a ramp as shown in Figure (b) at the girder level. Determine the horizontal stalic displacement at l=0.75s.
E =200GPa and damping can be assured as zero. Moment of inertia of end columns and center column
are 3.4465e-Smm^2 and 7.07e-5mm" respectivcly.
