    ./denotes the inflection points of the elastic curves. For member 1-2, the extended
    fibers are located below the neutral line. Bending moment diagrams are plotted on
    the extended fibers.
    First unit state.Z 1 D1/Rigid joint 1 rotates clockwise (positive direction) through
    angleZ 1 D 1. The reactions for both members (fixed-pinned and fixed-fixed) in
    the case of angular displacement of the fixed supports are presented in TablesA.3
    andA.4. In this case, the bending moment at joint 1 of the horizontal member
    equals 3 EI 2 =l(TableA.3, row 1); for the vertical member, the specified ordinates
    are 4 EI 1 =hfor joint 1 and 2 EI 1 =hat the bottom clamped support (TableA.4). As
    a result of the angular displacement, unit reactive momentr 11 arises in constraint
    1 and reactive forcer 21 arises in constraint 2; all unit reactions are shown in the
    positive direction.
    Second unit state.Z 2 D1/If constraint 2 has horizontal displacementZ 2 D 1
    from left to right (positive direction), then introduced joint 1 has the same displace-
    ment and, as a result, the vertical member is subjected to bending. Unit reactive
