Consider the following column: 0.5Q EI, L 4 B EI, L A The column has a length 2L and is clamped in point A and simply supported in point B. The bending stiffness is El. The column is loaded by a vertical point load Q in point C, a horizontal point load 0.5Q at midspan between B and C and a horizontal uniform load between points A and B. The resultant of this uniform load is equal to 6aQ, i.e. apL = 6dQ. Determine the interval [a, b] for a so that the horizontal displacement in point C is limited to +L/200, considering the P-A effect. You can neglect the P-8 effect.
