PROBLEM SET 3
Q1) The supports B and C settle down by 8 mm and 4 mm, respectively. Determine the moments

diagram for the whole structure. EI = 30000 kN-m2
Q2) Determine the member end moments using moment distribution method, then draw the
moment diagram for each member of the frame. Support A is pinned. EI is constant, all members
are axially rigid.
