A cantilevered balcony is showing signs of distress. Until it can be repaired, we need to reduce the peak moment. The principal in charge recommends adding two rows of post shores. Our role is to determine how much that would reduce the peak moment in the balcony. a. Calculate the peak moment for a strip of balcony without added supports subjected to only its self-weight (ie., the current situation). b. Use the Force Method to determine the reactions and draw V and M Diagrams for a strip of balcony with two rows of 3 shores. c. Based on your results from part (b). By how much is the peak moment reduced when we add the shores? 4.0 KN/m Current Situation 4.0 KN/m

Transcribed Image Text:A cantilevered balcony is showing signs of distress. Until it can be repaired, we need to reduce
the peak moment. The principal in charge recommends adding two rows of post shores. Our
role is to determine how much that would reduce the peak moment in the balcony.
a. Calculate the peak moment for a strip of balcony without added supports subjected to
only its self-weight (i.e., the current
situation).
b. Use the Force Method to determine the
reactions and draw V and M Diagrams
for a strip of balcony with two rows of
shores.
c. Based on your results from part (b). By
how much is the peak moment reduced
4.0 KN/m
when we add the shores?
