Using a structural analysis computer program, determine the joint displacements, member local end forces, and reactions for the frame shown in Fig. P7.11 for the value of the load parameter P = 300 kN. What is the largest value of P that can be applied to the frame without exceeding the drift (maximum horizontal deflection) limitation of one percent of the frame height? Assume that the braces (inclined members) are connected by hinged connections at both ends.
