This document contains notes from a Structural Analysis class. It discusses structural models, types of supports and connections, stability and determinacy, internal forces including axial, shear, bending and torsional forces, and gives examples of different structural types like suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and high-rise buildings. It provides instructions for an assignment and test on these structural analysis concepts.

For the Gerber beam in the figure and the given shear force diagram, determine:
1. Value of the distributed load q (kN/m)
2. Value of the length L (m)
3. Sign and value of the bending moment at the middle of CD member, MCD (mkN)
4. Sign and value of the bending moment at B, MB (mkN)
5. Sign and value of the rotation at B, θB (mrad)
6. Equivalent model for the beam ABC (types of supports and external forces).
