Question
Beam ABC is fixed at support A and rests
(at point B) upon the midpoint of beam DE (see parta
of the gure). Thus, beam ABC may be represented
as a propped cantilever beam with an overhang BC
and a linearly elastic support of stiffness k at point B
(see part b of the figure).
The distance from A to B is L =10 ft, the distance
from B to C is L/2 = 5 ft, and the length of beam
DE is L =10 ft. Both beams have the same flexural
rigidity EI. A concentrated load P =1700 lb acts at
the free end of beam ABC.
Determine the reactions RA, RB, and MA for beam
ABC. Also, draw the shear-force and bending-moment
diagrams for beam ABC, labeling all critical ordinates.
