Question

Your team has been asked to design a steel beam bridge with 8m length as a simple supported beam. The beam weight is 5000N considered as a distributed load over the beam length. In addition, in the worst case, two bushwalkers with 850N weight each will be on the bridge, they can pass the bridge together or individually. You only need to take the self-weight and pedestrian load into account in your calculations. Hint: you can consider two loads on the beam for each person or one load including the weight of both people.

Determine the scenario that will create the maximum shear force and bending moment on the beam.
