Question
Consider the following statements:
1. The distribution factor for fixed and pin support is zero since any moment is resisted by an equal and opposite moment within the support and no balancing is required.
2. In the case of pinned supports, the distribution factor is equal to 1.0 since 100% of any applied moment must be balanced and a carry-over of 1/2 × the balancing moment transferred to the remote end at the internal support.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
A.
1 only
B.
2 only
C.
Both 1 and 2
D.
Neither 1 nor 2
Answer ( Option B)

2 only

Solution

For fixed support, due to infinite stiffness of fixed support, distribution factor = 0. However, for pin support, distribution factor is 1.
Hence, statement 1 is Wrong.
