Determine the slope at A that would be caused by the distributed load if the fixed support was a pin support, instead. Let w = 3 lb/in., a = 108 in., and EI = 172 × 106 lb·in.2.

Determine the fixed end moment FEMCB with a settlement of 1.4 in. at support B.   As in Chapter 16, include the effect of settlement in the FEM calculation.  Let w = 2.4 kip/ft, L = 27 ft, E = 29,000 ksi and I = 1,850 in.4.

Determine the reaction moment at A. Let P = 142 lb, a = 57 in., and EI = 34 × 106 lb·in.2.

Determine the distribution factor DFAC. Let P1 = 13 kips, P2 = 20 kips, L1 = 20 ft, L2 = 10 ft, and L3 = 15 ft. Assume EI = constant.

Since the beam and the loading for the beam shown are _______, we only have to analyze half of the beam.

Determine the magnitude of the bending moment at C. Let w = 1.0 kip/ft, L1 = 34 ft, and L2 = 26 ft. Assume EI = constant.

Determine the horizontal distance from column ADG to the centroid of the columns. Assume all of the columns have the same cross sectional area. Let P1 = 16 kN, P2 = 32 kN, L1 = 8.0 m, L2 = 5.0 m, and L3 = 6.6 m.

Determine the deflection at B that would be caused by the concentrated moment if the middle support was not there. Let M = 18,600 lb·in., a = 70.44 in., b = 51.56 in., and EI = 52 × 106 lb·in.2. Note that b = (a + b)[1 – sqrt(3)/3].

Use the portal method to determine the magnitude of the approximate shear in column BF. Let P1 = 36 kN, P2 = 48 kN, L1 = 8 m, L2 = 6 m, L3 = 6 m, and L4 = 5 m.

Use Robot to determine the magnitude of the axial force in column FI. Assume each member is a steel W16x40, but delete the self-weight of the members. Let P1 = 19.0 kN, P2 = 32.0 kN, L1 = 8 m, L2 = 7 m, and L3 = 6 m.
