Homework Statement Determine the support reactions for the given structure(see attachment) due to flexural deformations using castigliano's second theorem. Axial deformations are considered negilible. Homework Equations delta = dU / dP The Attempt at a Solution See attachment. I could use...

Thank you for the reply. Now I'm stuck on a different problem. I want to determine the support reactions for given structure using the same theorem (see attachment). Axial deformations are considered negligible. This is what i got so far, but now I'm a bit clueless on how to continue. Be...
