Matrix Structural Analysis (Beams)

Here are the key steps to solve this problem using the matrix stiffness method: 1. Model the beam with appropriate degrees of freedom at each joint. 2. Determine the local stiffness matrix for each member. 3. Assemble the global structure stiffness matrix from the member matrices. 4. Determine the fixed-end force vector for each member. 5. Assemble the fixed-joint force vector from the member fixed-end forces. 6. Apply the known loads to obtain the joint load vector. 7. Solve the system of equations to find the joint displacements. 8. Use the joint displacements to find the member end forces. 9. Determine the support reactions by considering equilibrium.
