b) An overhanging steel beam AF and two short members welded together to form a
beam as shown in Figure Q1b. The beam carries a point load of 40 kN at point A
and a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN/m along segment CD. A horizontal load
of 50 kN is applied at the end of short member. Fl9Iyryl,!.{Sess is constant'

QUESTION 2
Figure Q2 shows a rigid-jointed frame made of 4.-36 steel fixed at A and D. It carries a
uniformly distributed load of 15 kN/m on column CD and horizontal point load of 5 kN
at C. In addition, a simply supported beam EF was attached to member BC and carries a
uniformly distributed load of 30 kN/m along the span. Young's modulus for each
member is constant and the second moment area of each member is indicated in the
figure. By using moment distribution method, determine the bending moments at critical
points.
Note: Construct FOUR (4) loops of balance and answer should be given in two (2)
decimal points.
