Bending moments diagram at T intersection

[mackhina]

Homework Statement

Draw the axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams. Show the locations and magnitude of the maximum and minimum values.

Homework Equations

See diagram.

The Attempt at a Solution

I've worked out the values from points A-B and then from points B-D. I don't grasp how I am suppose to approach the T intersection at point D. Should I evaluate it from D-E and treat the post from D-F as a pin joint, with values of 36.13kN and 15.13kN?

Then do the joint D-F after? If the D-E sections wasn't there I would just continue working around from D-F next, but because it is I'm not sure of how to work it out?

Any help would be heaps appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Cheers

Section DE is just a cantilever. If you cut a section thru DE in a FBD that includes the 10 kN force, the shear and moment at that section are easily calculated (no axial force). In DF, your FBD is similar to that of AB ( but with different values).
