Example 1:
Analayze the following frame using flexiblity method . calculate the bending moment and
rotation at C.
Solution:
Draw the free body diagram of the frame and based on that the reduntant reactions and forces
are chosen.
Take Ay and Ah as recations reduntant rections so the frame becomes statically determinate and
The compatibiltiy eqautions are used to anlyzed this frame and determine the rotation at point
C.
