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 next page. - Show complete FBDs for members AB, BC, BF, CE, and CD. Show FBDs of joints B, C, and D. Show complete M, V, and N diagrams for members AB, BC, BF, CE, and CD; with key values and slopes Show DSs of members AB, BC, BF, CE, and CD. Show reactions on the structure (use the figure given above); show DS of the structure with correct sense (direction) of rotations of joints B, C and D. -Sketch approximately the moment diagram of the frame on the figure given above (using the information from your FBDs of members).
