Q.2 An 8.0 m cantilever steel beam ABC sustains a point load of 100 kN at free end C and a uniformly distributed load (UDL) of 20.0 kN/m over the left half span AB, as shown in Figure Q.2. The stiffness of the beam is 1.5EI for the left half cross- section and El for the right half cross-section. Here the value of El is given as 400 x 10° kNm2. Using the Unit Load Method and the data given, determine at free end C (a) the value of the vertical deflection, and (b) the value of the slope. Hint: The point load and the uniformly distributed load can be considered separately. 100 kN MA 20 kN/m A 1.5EI El VA 4.0 m 4.0 m 8.0 m Figure Q.2 B.
