Consider the frame shown in the figure under the loading of 100 kN.m couples at the joints B and G. Considering only the effects of flexural deformations, which of the following statements is/are true:

1. Axial force is zero in the member CD
2. Shear force is zero in the member CD
3. There is no rotation in the joint C
4. The magnitude of bending moment developed in the member BC at the end C is more than 50 kN.m

Correct answer: The magnitude of bending moment developed in the member BC at the end C is more than 50 kN.m

Solution

The statement is correct because the application of couples at joints B and G induces bending moments in the members of the frame, particularly in member BC, resulting in a bending moment greater than 50 kN.m at end C.
