Determine the joint displacements, member local end forces, and support reactions for the plane
frame below, due to the combined effect of the loading shown and a settlement of 25mm of the left
support. Use the alternative formulation of the matrix stiffness method. Use results from Example 6.6

By storing the element of the member global stiffness matrices K 1 and K 2 , calculated in Example
6.6, in their proper positions in the 9x9 structure stiffness matrix S , we obtain in units of kilo-Newtons
and meters, the following stiffness matrix for all the structure coordinates.
