Question

(CIVE2044) Figure Q.9 shows a continuous beam with constant modulus of elasticity, E, and second moment of area, I, such that El = 3 x 10 3 kNm2. ) State

whether this structure is stable and why. Determine all the support reactions using the Flexibility Method (No marks will be awarded for the use of a different method).[12] Determine the vertical reaction at mid-span if the mid-span support settles by 30 mm.
