Explanation of Solution

An order of operations includes the following;

  • Building frame insulation.
  • Increasing the thermal insulation levels.
  • Radiant barriers.
  • Vapor retarders.
  • Air barriers
  • Infiltration and ventilation.

The operations take place in this logic of order, which is helpful to make sure that the building enclosure is well designed and constructed carefully to provide comfort to the occupants of the building by moderating how the structure is supposed to function.

Draw the Shear Force Diagram and Bending Moment Diagram for the beam shown in Fig.1. The beam is subjected to an UDL of w=65m. L=4.5m L1= 1.8m.  Assume the support at C is pinned, and A and B are roller supports.  E = 200GPa, I = 250x106 mm4.
Calculate the BMs (bending moments) at all the joints of the beam shown in Fig.1 using the Slope Deflection method. The beam is subjected to an UDL of w=65m. L=4.5m L1= 1.8m.  Assume the support at C is pinned, and A and B are roller supports.  E = 200GPa, I = 250x106 mm4.
