A continuous beam ABCD has spans of AB = 6m, BC = 5m and CD = 4m. Span AB is carrying a triangular load that varies uniformly from 0 to 15 kN/m and is applied starting from a point 2m from A and terminates at point B. Span BC is carrying a 15kN/m uniformly distributed load applied from B to C. Span CD is carrying also a 15kN/m uniformly distributed load from point C to a point 2m from D. Determine the moment at B and C in kN-m and the reactions at A, B, C and D in kN.
