ASSUMPTIONS:
1. A hinge is placed at the center of each
girder, since this is assumed to be a point 4m
of zero moment. I J K L
0.16 m² 0.18 m² 0.14 m² 0.12 m²
2. A hinge is placed at the center of each
column, since this is assumed to be a 60 kN
point of zero moment.

3. The axial stress in a column is
proportional to its distance from the
centroid of the cross-sectional areas of
the columns at a given floor level. Since
stress equals force per area, then in the 5m
special case of the columns having equal
cross-sectional areas, the force in a 0.20 m² 0.20 m² 0.20 m² 0.20 m²
column is also proportional to its distance
from the centroid of the column areas.
