A frame acted upon by a distributed loads is shown in Figure Ql. The frame is supported
using a roller support at A and a pin support at C. B is a fixed joint.

I. Determine the support reactions at A and C.

Q2. 150 Marks]

A beam is shown in Figure Q2. The beam is supported by a roller support at A and a fixed
support at E. The beam has a hinge at C. A uniform variable action of 12 kN/m and a single
live concentrated force of 50 kN are to be placed on the beam.

I. Draw the influence line at supports A and E and determine the maximum vertical
reactions at A and E.

130 Marks]

II. Draw the influence line for reaction moment at support E and determine the
maximum moment at E. State whether the maximum moment is negative or positive.
