Steel E =29000 ksi, Poissons Ratio = Pinned base All beam-column connections are rigid Joint Masses Lumped mass at joints C and D is kip-sec2 / in Loading The load P(t), applied to joint C, is a periodic load. Three different loading cases (functions) are defined for P(t). The three loading functions, which have periods of , and seconds respectively, are shown in the chart and graph below. Assume 5% damping for all loading. | Problem L Periodic Loading Steel E 29000 ksi Poissons Ratio Pinned base All beam-column connections are rigid Joint Masses Lumped mass at joints C and D is kip-sec2 in Loading The load P t applied to joint C is a periodic load.
