8. (a) An axial load of 4×10 N is applied at 30°C to the road as shown in the figure.
Temperature is then raised to 60°C. Calculate the following,
1. Assemble the K and F matrices.
2. Nodal displacements.

4. Reactions at each nodal points.

For AlumiiIum,
𝐴 = 1000𝑚𝑚2 , E = 0.7×105 N/𝑚𝑚2 , α = 23×10−6 /°C.
For Steel,
𝐴 = 1500𝑚𝑚2 , E = 2×105 N/𝑚𝑚2 , α = 12×10−6 /°C. (10 Marks)
