This document provides the solution to analyzing a steel frame carrying a lateral load using the cantilever method. It is a 3 step process: 1) Locate the point of inflection and center of gravity of the frame. 2) Determine the shear forces and end moments at each joint. 3) Calculate the reactions, shearing force, and bending moment diagrams. Diagrams and calculations are shown to solve for the unknown forces and moments.

10 (0.75) + P1 (2) - P2 (4.5) - P3 (7.5) = 0


10 (0.75) + (0.429P)(2) – (0.286P)(4.5) – (1.143P)(7.5) = 0
P = 0.833 kN

Step # 4 : Determine Shear forces of each part of frame and determine member
end moments
