b) Flexible horizontal member consisting of W18X30

Compute the stiffness by moment distribution method. Displace the frame horizontally by
one inch and determine the stiffness of the frame as the sum of the shear forces in both
columns. Take advantage of the symmetry by modifying the stiffness of horizontal member
by factor 3/2.
