question. In the structure shown in the figure, the supports at A and D are fixed, and the supports at B and C are rollers. El is constant for all the segments. Using the moment distribution method, determine the followings and type your answers in the text field below: • Determine the member-end moments for each member (MAB. MBA, Msc. McB, McD, and Moc), and indicate if the directions are "clockwise" or "counter- clockwise". • Type your calculations on a table as shown below. (First you need to insert the table in the text field.) Perform the "carryover-distribute" cycle only three times, otherwise you will end up with wrong answers. In your hand-solution (to be uploaded in Final Exam 2): • Clearly show all calculations for the member stiffnesses, the distribution factors and the fixed-end moments. • Draw the table and fill it by performing the "carryover-distribute" cycle only three times. (Note that, after you submit Final Exam 1. you may use the additional 30 minutes to complete and rearrange your hand-solution before uploading it on Final Exam 2.) Hint 1: To determine the direction of the FEMS, initially separate the structure into its segments. Remember that the clock-wise moment is positive in the MDM. Hint 2: Use the "Fixed End Moments" table provided in the resources section to calculate the FEMS. (Only if you have serious problems with the type editor, then you may upload the image of your solution. However, you will need to HIGHLIGHT your answers in the image. That is your responsibility to make sure that the image is READABLE. Do NOT copy paste the image into the text field, but INSERT it using the appropriate tool.)
