Question 1: (Slope Deflection Method)
(a) Use slope-deflection method and determine the internal moments, then draw the bending moment
diagram. Assume support at A is fixed. EI is constant.

(b) Determine the internal moments at the supports A, B and C using method of slope-deflection.
Assume A is pinned and B and C are rollers. EI is constant.

(c) Determine the moments using slope-deflection method, and then draw the bending moment diagram
for each member of the frame. Assume the supports at A and C are fixed. EI is constant.
Question 2: (Moment Distribution Method)
(a) Determine the moments at A, B and C using Moment Distribution Method. Assume the support at
B is a roller and A and C are fixed. E= 200 GPa and I= 360 ×(106) mm4
