Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for the girders of given frame.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The uniformly distributed load acting along the girder DEF (w) is 30 kN/m.
The horizontal distance of the point AB and BC
The vertical distance of the members AD, BE, and CF
Calculation:
The span length and loads for the two girders of the frame DE and EF are same; therefore the approximate shear and bending moment diagrams for the girders will also be the same.
Consider the girder DE.
Determine the span for the middle portion of the girder using the relation.
Substitute 6 m for L.
Determine the span for the two end portion of the girder using the relation.
Substitute 6 m for L.
Draw the statically determinate girder portion as in Figure (1).
Consider the equilibrium of the simply supported middle portion of the girder.
Determine the vertical reactions at the end portion using the relation.
Substitute 30 kN/m for w and 4.8 m for
