Q.1: For the frame shown, calculate the degree of restraint (Ψ) at joints D and G.
i. Beams cross-section 300×500 mm, and effective span = 5.0 m (c/c of the columns),
ii. Columns cross-section (AD 300×300 mm),
iii. Columns cross-section (DG 350×350 mm),
iv. Columns cross-section (GB 400×400 mm), and
v. All columns effective height = 4.0 m (c/c of beams). A
