2. Analyse
the
symmetric
frame
shown
in
Fig.
2
by
the
Slope-‐deflection
Method.
Draw
the
bending
moment
diagram
and
sketch
the
probable
deflected
shape.
[Hint:
take
advantage
of
symmetry!].

the
laterally

two-‐storeyed
frame
in
Fig.

by
the
Slope-‐deflection
method,
taking
advantage
of

response.
Draw
the
