Figure 1: Sidesway Frame
(a)
Using the slope deflection method, compute the end moments and visualize the bending
moment diagram. The beam has constant E/I for all the spans.
(b)
If Support B changes to fixed support, what changes in the solutions? Express with
calculation.
(c)
If Support A settles as much as 10 mm, what changes in the solutions? Express with
calculation.
