Question:

In the structure shown, rigid blocks are connected by linear springs. Imagine that only horizontal displacements are allowed. Write the global equilibrium equations \([\mathbf{K}]\{\mathbf{Q}\}=\{\mathbf{F}\}\) after applying displacement boundary conditions in terms of spring stiffness \(k^{(i)}\), displacement DOFs \(u_{i}\), and applied loads \(F_{i}\).
