Problem (8.6): A simple beam ABCD has moment of inertia I near the supports and moment of inertia 21 in the middle region, as shown in the Figure (8.26). A uniform load of intensity q acts over the entire length of the beam. Determine the equations of the deflection curve for the left-hand half of the beam. Also, find the angle of rotation A at the left-hand support and the deflection 8max at the midpoint. 9 B C D 21 000 L I 27 I

Beams

In structural engineering, a beam is a component made of a variety of materials (including steel alloys, and wood) that can resist loads applied laterally to the beam axis. Members, elements, rafters, shafts, and purlins are all terms used to describe beams.
