Consider the condition of vertical compatibility along the cut line of the contraflexure
as shown in figure.
Relative vertical displacements will occur at the cut ends of the cantilever due to
following four basic actions
Wall moments
Deflections
Significance of parameter kH
A1 = 5 * 0.3 =1.5 m2
A2 = 7 * 0.3 = 2.1 m2
I = I1 + I2 = 11.7 m4
A = A1 + A2 = 3.6 m2
