The structure shown in Figure 1 is supported by fixed support at A and roller support at B and D. An internal hinge at C connects the elements of this structure. A distributed load with the intensity of q=10kNm is acting from A to C .
a) Calculate the bending moment at A and B(MA and MB) using the method of conjugate beam.
(Hint: first of all, find MB using the equilibrium of the original beam. Then, consider the condition for equilibrium of the conjugate beam for MA)
b) Calculate the reaction of all supports.
c) Draw the bending moment diagram of the structure.
d) Find the following quantities using the method of conjugate beam:
i.) Rotation at point B(B).
ii.) Vertical displacement at point C(cy).
iii.) Rotation at point C (at the left and the right of the hinge)(C-c+).
iv.) Vertical displacement at points E(Ey).
v.) Rotation at point E(E).
The structure shown in Figure 1 is supported by
