It carries the following loading: a distributed load of 30 kN/m between A and B, a concentrated load of 20 KN at B, a concentrated load of 20 KN at C, a concentrated load of 10 KN at E; a distributed load of 60 kN/m between 0 and E. Span AB = 1.5 BC = CD = DE 1 m. Calculate the value of the reactions at A and D and hence draw the S.F. and B.M. diagrams. What are the magnitude and position of the maximum B.M. on the beam?

It carries a vertical load of 10 KN at A, a second concentrated load of 20 KN at C, 3 m from D, and a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN/m between C and D. Determine: (a) the values of the reactions at B and 0, (6) the position and magnitude of the maximum bending moment. [33 KN, 27 KN, 2.7 m from D, 36.45k Nm.]arrow_forward

Locate the point of maximum bendin moment and calculate the value of this maximum. Sketch the S.F. and B.M. diagrams. [U.L.] [3.25 m from l.h. end; 272 KN m 30. 90arrow_forward3.11 (B). A beam, 12 m long, is to be simply supported at 2m from each end and to carry a U.d.l of 30kN/m together with a 30 KN point load at the right-hand end. For ease of transportation the beam is to be jointed in two places, one joint being Situated 5 m from the left-hand end. What load (to the nearest KN) must be applied to the left-hand end to ensure that there is no B.M. at the joint (i.e. the joint is to be a point of contraflexure)? What will then be the best position on the beam for the other joint? Determine the position and magnitude of the maximum B.M. present on the beam.
