Question: Use the stiffness method to analyse the structure shown below. For the beam ABC, E = 2 * 1 0 8 kPa, A = ,

Use the stiffness method to analyse the structure shown below.
For the beam ABC,E=2*108kPa,A=,I=1.2e-4m4..
For the truss member DB,E=200000000kPaA=0.002m2.
Also, take L=2.4m and =38kNm
Calculate the the bending moment at Joint B following the steps below:
Part 1:
Assemble the global structure stiffness matrix. Note that ABC is infinitely rigid in the axial direction.
Calculate:
a)K11=
b)K22=
c)K23=
d)K44=
Part 2:
Specify the load vector.
Provide your answers with two decimal places.
P=
Part 3:
Calculate the displacements.
Provide your answers with three significant figures: (For example, if your answer is 0.00001236 then insert 1.24 e -5)
a)u1=
rad
b)u2=
m
c)u3=
