Q1. The frame ABCDE in Figure Q1 has a pinned support at A, a roller support at D and rigid joint at B and C. (a) Evaluate the support reactions. [3 marks] (b)Draw the shear force diagram indicating principal values. [7 marks] (c) Draw the bending moment diagram indicating principal values. Determine the position for the maximum positive bending moment and its magnitude in span CD. [9 marks] (d) Sketch the deflected shape of the frame and mark the lengths of the member where tension develops. Locate and give the position of any point of contra flexure.
