if D is pinned why no horizontal force?
Solution
A pinned joint is capable of resisting the horizontal forces from a structure. Horizontal force on pinned joints are only induced when there is a horizontal force applied to the structure or when the mechanism of the system is such that the vertical forces result in the induction of horizontal reaction at hinge support (example: Arch with vertical loading).
