The steel beam ABCD shown is supported at C as shown and supported at B and D by shoulder steel bolts, each having a diameter of 8 mm. The lengths of BE and DF are 50 mm and 65 mm, respectively. The beam has a second area moment of 21(103) mm4. Prior to loading, the members are stress-free. A force of 2kN is then applied at point A. Using procedure 2 of Sec. 4€“10, determine the stresses in the bolts and the deflections of points A, B, andD.
