Question #15
The structure shown below has three W-shape members - two columns and
one girder. Each of these members is oriented such that bending about the
strong axis is in the plane of the frame. The frame is braced in the direction
perpendicular to the plane of the frame as shown (the braces lines directly
behind line ABC).
