Use the slope deflection method to analyze the continuous beam as shown. The beam has a fixed end at A and rollers at B$,$ C$,$ and D$.$ E$=$constant. The value of I is shown on the beam.

Use a well$-$organized process with numbered steps showing all the necessary steps and well labeled.

Determine the internal shear and moments for the expanded beam. Use the exploded FBD for the beam to show moments, shears, and reactions.

Determine the reactions at support A$,$ B$,$ C$,$ D$.$

Draw the shear and Moment diagrams for the continuous beam. The shear and moment diagram should be drawn below the beam with straight lines. Identify all important features of V&M diagram.

Show all your work, show all the steps to get the maximum credit, be neat and organized, take a good photo or scan of the finished exam, use dark pen or pencil on light color paper. Each step of your solution should be numbered. We need to easily be able to follow your work and solution.

$E=$ Constant
