A prismatic beam is built into a structure. You can consider the boundary conditions at A and B to be
fixed supports. The beam was originally designed to withstand a triangular distributed load, however,
the loading condition has been revised and can be approximated by a cosine function as shown in the
figure below. You have been tasked with analysing the structure. As the beam is prismatic, you can
assume that the bending rigidity (El) is constant.

Question 1: Beam Analysis
Two beams (ABC and CD) are connected using a pin immediately to the left of Point C. The pin acts
as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces
can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a
roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied
to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB
and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these
moments is PL.

To analyse this structure, you will:
a) Construct the free body diagrams for the structure shown above. When constructing your
FBD's you must make section cuts at point B and C. You can represent the structure as three
separate beams. Following this, construct the…
