A2. (35 marks) Figure A2 shows a two-span beam subjected to point loads and a uniformly distributed load (UDL) on span BC. Spans AB and BC have identical stiffness values (or El values). a. Determine the bending moments at A, B and C. You may use the slope deflection or the moment distribution method. [25 marks) b. Draw the bending moment diagram for the entire beam.
