1. The structure shown below has a special moment resisting moment frame for a lateral force resisting system. It is carrying the load of emergency generator. The soil profile is Site Class D. Based on the USGS map, spectral response acceleration parameters, Ss and S1 are 2.3g and 0.8g respectively. The weight of rigid floor is 15 kips. The emergency generator weighing 35 kips is located on the center of the rigid floor. (20 points) 1) Find the period of...
The three-bay, one-story frame
consists of beam's pin connected to the columns and column bases
pinned to the foundation in the figure. The diagonal brace member
CH is pinned at each end. Determine the reactions at A, B, C, and
calculate the force in the brace. Given: X = 8 kips/ft.

CE 340-F/2016-EXAM 4. FRAME-SOLUTION BY MOMENT-DISTRIBUTION METHOD w-3.6 kips 21 to 20 Use the Moment-Distribution Method to analyze the braced-frame shown above (No Side-way). Note: Joints F and E are fixed; joints A and D are pin-connected; No loads on member DC. (Hint: Start at joint A) -Clearly show computations of stiffness values, K, and DFs. -Clearly show computations of FEMs. -Present a clear and organized table of iterations to follow your computation. A suggested table is given on the...
Problem 10.19 Consider the frame shown in (Figure 1). Assume the support at A is fixed and C is a pin. EI is constant. Part A Determine the internal end moment MBA acting on member AB of the frame at B measured clockwise. Express your answer using three significant figures. Enter positive value if the moment is clockwise and negative value if the moment is counterclockwise. MBA = 40.8 k ft Submit Previous Answers Correct Part B Determine the internal...
