3. Consider a uniform two-span beam ABC which is fully-fixed at supports A and C and (30)
simply supported at B as indicated in the following figure. A uniformly distributed load
of 24 kN/m is applied to span AB and a central point load of 24kN is applied to span
BC as shown. Using the data given, the degrees-of-freedom indicated and assuming
both members to be axially rigid,
(i) Generate the structural stiffness matrix and the applied load vector.
(ii) Determine the structural displacements.
