V. 2 Bay Frame Moments and Shear
To find the member forces in a 1x2 bay plane frame with members of rectangular section.
Problem
The frame supports a uniformly distributed load and concentrated loads. Calculate the bending moment and shear force at the mid point of the beam of the first bay.
E = 30,000 ksi
Columns are 12"×24", beams are 12"×30"
STAAD Input
