USE THE FORCE METHOD

Consider the structure and applied actions shown in the figure below.

The frame is subjected to a uniformly distributed load on $BC$ and a change in temperature in $AB.$ A and $D$ are pin supports.

Use the dimensions and load values in the table below. Analyse the structure using the force method.

Note: The report should include both the worked solution and the answers to each question, and your student number at the bottom of each page

Dimensions:

Applied actions:

Question $2$: Use the FORCE METHOD to analyse the structure for the combined action of a distribued load and

temperature change acting simultaneously. Take the redundant as the horizontal reaction at $D.$

Complete your calculations to determine what is required below.

Determine reactions at A and $D$;

Draw the axial force diagram, shear force diagram and bending moment diagram

for the distributed load and the temperature combined.
