Tutorial Ces421 Week 3

This document provides two questions involving the flexibility method for analyzing plane frames and trusses. Question 1 involves a rigid-jointed plane frame pinned at point A and fixed at point D, subjected to various loads. It asks the reader to (a) sketch the primary structure and redundants, (b) form the compatibility equation and solve for redundants, and (c) determine remaining reactions. Question 2 involves a pin-jointed plane truss pinned at point A and supported by a roller at point C, under given loads. It asks the reader to (a) form the compatibility equation taking force at member BE as the redundant, (b) solve for the redundant and determine remaining support reactions, and (c)
