3.11 A beam, 12 m long, is to be simply supported at 2 m from each end and to carry a u.d.1. of 30 kN/m together with a 30 kN point load at the right-hand end. For ease transportation of the beam is to be jointed in two places, one joint being situated 5 m from the left-hand end. What load (to the nearest kN) must be applied to the left-hand end to ensure that there is no B.M. at the joint (the joint is to be a point of contraflexure)? What will be the best position on the beam for the other joint? Determine the position and magnitude of the maximum B.M. present on the beam.

3.11 A beam, 12 m long, is to be simply supported at 2 m from each end and to carry a u.d.1. of 30
kN/m together with a 30 kN point load at the right-hand end. For ease transportation of the beam is
to be jointed in two places, one joint being situated 5 m from the left-hand end. What load (to the
nearest kN) must be applied to the left-hand end to ensure that there is no B.M. at the joint (the joint
is to be a point of contraflexure)? What will be the best position on the beam for the other joint?
Determine the position and magnitude of the maximum B.M. present on the beam.
[114 kN, 1.6 m from r.h. reaction; 4.7 m from 1.h. reaction; 43.35 kN m]
