A beam ABC 12 m long is simply supported at A and B where AB = 8 m. Point loads of 15 kN and 6 kN are applied at the mid-point of AB and at C respectively. A uniformly distributed load of 4 kN/m extends for 6 m from A. Determine the values of the reactions by resolving and taking moments, Check your results by using virtual work, Sketch the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams and find the values under the point loads.
