The document contains problems asking students to derive equations of motion for various frame structures. Problem 1.13 asks students to derive the equation of motion for a simply supported beam-column frame with a lumped mass m on the beam and comment on the effect of base fixity by comparing to an equation. Problem 1.14 asks students to derive the equation of motion for a fixed-fixed beam-column frame and comment on the effect of base fixity by comparing to an example. Problems 1.15-1.16 ask students to derive the equation of motion for two fixed-fixed beam-column frames with different mass distributions and check their result against an equation, commenting on the effect of base fixity. Problem 1.17

1.13 Derive the equation of motion for the frame shown in Fig. P1.13. The flexural rigidity of
the beam and columns is as noted. The mass lumped at the beam is m; otherwise, assume the
frame to be massless and neglect damping. By comparing the result with Eq. (1.3.2), comment
on the effect of base fixity.

1.14 Write the equation of motion for the one-story, one-bay frame shown in Fig. P1.14. The
flexural rigidity of the beam and columns is as noted. The mass lumped at the beam is m;
otherwise, assume the frame to be massless and neglect damping. By comparing this equation
of motion with the one for Example 1.1, comment on the effect of base fixity.

1.15– Write the equation of motion of the one-story, one-bay frame shown in Figs. P1.15 and P1.16.
1.16 The flexural rigidity of the beam and columns is as noted. The mass lumped at the beam is
m; otherwise, assume the frame to be massless and neglect damping. Check your result from
Problem 1.15 against Eq. (1.3.5). Comment on the effect of base fixity by comparing the two
equations of motion.
