The pin-jointed plane frame (truss) in the picture below use the method of virtual work to determine the vertical deflection at joint D and the horizontal deflection at joint B. All members of the truss have a constant EA of 1×105kN.
I have attempted the first half of the question however struggling at the second part. Actual working out of the joint section AC,BD, CD and the deflection table of each member for better comprehension. I do NOT need written do list but the calculation please!

There are five possible routes from Shoridan to Mythaca with the following linkperformance functions:t1 = 18 + 4.5x1t2 = 21 + 7.0x2t3 = 26 + 4.9x3t4 = 29 + 3.4x4t5 = 34 + 0.3x5where ti is in minutes and xi is in 1,000 vehicles per hour.a) It is expected that 8,300 vehicles will be making the Shoridan- Mythaca trip in the maximumflow hour, determine the equilibrium flow on the five routes? Will all five routes be used?b) A transportation planner in Mythaca has tried to convert the expected flow and the linkperformance functions above into route floes. His solution includes x1 = 3.50, x2 = 2.82, and x3 =1.58. Do these values seem correct to you?

- 1. The maximum required load on the compound beam shown below is to be designed in this problem. Beam ABC, found to have an internal hinge at B, is supported by a fixed support at A and a roller support at C. Beam DEF then supports beam ABC and is supported by a pin at F. Beam DEF rests on a smooth surface at section DE. If the flexural and shear stresses on both beams are limited to 70 MPa and 25 MPa, respectively, solve for the maximum allowable value of P. The cross-sections of both beams are shown. (Hint: Draw separate shear and bending moment diagram for each beam.)
