Determine the structure stiffness matrix, joint displacements in terms of EI, member-end bending moments and reactions of the frame shown in Figure 3 by the matrix stiffness method. Joint C is a rigid connection with a link support preventing horizontal displacement. E is constant and I varies as shown in the figure. Draw bending moment and shear force diagrams of the frame. All matrix operations and sign conventions must be clearly shown. F F 80 KN 21 3 m G 1 m WIN E B 21 C 80 KN 1.251 I 4 4 m A t 1.5 m D 4 m 3 m Figure 3
