ASSIGNMENT # 2: MATRIX METHODS –FRAMES (DO Q1 ONLY)

Q1.

Calculate the member forces in the frame as shown in Figure 1 below using the Matrix stiffness
method. Both members have the same cross sectional area of 2000 mm2 I = 1 x 106mm2and E = 200
kN/mm2.

Q2.
(i) Determine the structural stiffness matrix of the Frames shown in Figures 2a and 2b below.

(ii) Calculate the deflections and member forces in the frames of Figures 2a and 2b using the
Matrix stiffness method where [D] = Kff-1 [Q] and the member forces [q] can be determined
using [q] = [k] [T] [d]. All members have the same cross sectional area of 1000 mm2, I = 1 x
106 mm4 and E = 200 kN/mm2.
