We are given the statically indeterminate structure in Fig. 1, with a degree of indeterminacy of 2. The value of EI is 5·10^7 kip-in2 for both members. The effect of axial deformations is neglected. You are asked to solve the structure; that is, calculate the support reactions and the internal loading diagrams

Question
We are given the statically indeterminate structure in Fig. 1, with a degree of indeterminacy of 2. The value of EI is 5·10^7 kip-in2 for both members. The effect of axial deformations is neglected. You are asked to solve the structure; that is, calculate the support reactions and the internal loading diagrams.

Transcribed Image Text:**Figure 1: Structural Load Diagram**
This diagram represents a structural frame with three points labeled A, B, and C. The frame is subjected to external loads and consists of vertical and horizontal members arranged in an L-shape.
- **Points and Members:**
- Point A is at the bottom left and is a fixed support.
- Points B and C are connected by a horizontal member. Point B is 20 feet above Point A. Point C is supported by a roller.
- The horizontal member BC is 20 feet long.
- **Loads:**
- A horizontal load of 5 kips acts to the left at Point B.
- A vertical load of 10 kips acts downward at Point C.
- **Dimensions:**
- The vertical member (AB) is 20 feet tall.
- The horizontal member (BC) is also 20 feet in length.
This diagram is typically used in structural analysis to determine the reactions at the supports and internal forces within the structure.
