CE 361 – PART 2 of FINAL EXAM (70 points)

(Dr. Udaya B. Halabe)

Question # 2: (SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD) (Total 70 points)

Analyze the following frame using the Slope Deflection Method.
(a) Identify the unknown displacements (Hint: SD method ignores axial deformation).
(b) Compute the required fixed-end moments and write down all the necessary slope-
deflection equations for the member-end moments.
(c) Write down all the necessary equilibrium equations and solve for the unknowns.
(d) Compute the member-end moments.
(e) Draw the Free Body Diagrams, Axial Force Diagrams, Shear Force Diagrams and
Bending Moment Diagrams for all the members.

Notes:

• Support A is FIXED
• Support D is PINNED
• AC should be treated as one member with an intermediate load (member load)
• All members have the same moment of inertia (I)
