Force method example #2: two degrees indeterminate (part 1/3)

Check out https://www.engineer4free.com/structu... for more free structural analysis tutorials. The course covers shear force and bending moment diagram review, method of superposition, moment area method, force method, displacement method, slope deflection method, and 3 moment equation.

This tutorial goes through a force method example problem that is two degrees statically indeterminate. The goal of this problem is to draw the shear force diagram (SFD), bending moment diagram (BMD) and solve for the reactions. The force method takes forever for problems that are more than one degree indeterminate.

This video is part 1 of 3 for the force method problem. Here are the links to each part:
Force method part 1:    • Force method example #2: two degrees ...  
Force method part 2:    • Force method example #2: two degrees ...  
Force method part 3:    • Force method example #2: two degrees ...  

I solved this exact same problem with the slope deflection method, you can watch it here:
Slope/deflection part 1:    • Slope deflection method example #2 (p...  
Slope/deflection part 2:    • Slope deflection method example #2 (p...  
Slope/deflection part 3:    • Slope deflection method example #2 (p...  

I also solved this exact same problem with the 3 moment equation, you can watch it here:
3 moment part 1:    • 3 moment equation example #3: with a ...  
3 moment part 2:    • 3 moment equation example #3: with a ...
