CIVL 7117 - Homework 2-4
set cell vertical height

Solve Problem 2.3 with P =0 (no force applied at node 3) and with node 5 given a fixed, known displacement of δ as shown in Figure P2-4.

Problem 2-3

  1. For the spring assemblage shown in Figure P2-4, obtain the global stiffness matrix by direct superposition.
  2. If nodes 1 and 5 are fixed and a force P is applied at node 3, determine the nodal displacements.
  3. Determine the reactions at the fixed nodes 1 and 5.
