stiffened greatly. What effect on bending moment values at specific points
will there be?
Incorrect
Mark -0.33 out

of 1.00
Select one:
a. Increases at all points.  The elements with more stiffness attract
more bending moment. Therefore, B increases and A and C decrease
because they are rigidly connected to the less stiff columns.
b. No change anywhere.
c. Increase at B, reductions at A and C.
d. Reduction at B, increases at A and C.

The correct answer is: Increase at B, reductions at A and C.
