Explanation Calculation: Use moment area method: Show the free body diagram of the beam as in Figure 1. Determine the reaction of the support by considering the vertical equilibrium condition: ∑ F y = 0 R B = R D = 1 2 w L Here, w is the weight per unit length of the rod. Due to symmetric beam with symmetric loading, consider the left side of the beam. Show the moment ( M E I ) diagram for the left side of the given loading beam as in Figure 2. Calculate the moment ( M 1 ) over the span BC using the formula: M 1 = 1 2 w L ( x − a ) Substitute L 2 for x . M 1 = 1 2 w L ( L 2 − a ) = 1 2 w L ( L − 2 a 2 ) = 1 4 w L ( L − 2 a ) Calculate the ratio of M 1 E I using the relation: Ratio = M 1 E I Substitute 1 4 w L ( L − 2 a ) for M 1 . M 1 E I = 1 4 w L ( L − 2 a ) E I Calculate the area ( A 1 ) due to the moment ( M 1 ) using the formula: A 1 = 1 2 b 1 h 1 Here, b 1 is the width of the triangle in area ( A 1 ) and h 1 is the height of the triangle in area ( A 1 ) . Substitute ( L 2 − a ) for b 1 and 1 4 w L ( L − 2 a ) E I for h 1 . A 1 = 1 2 × ( L 2 − a ) × 1 4 w L ( L − 2 a ) E I = 1 2 × ( L − 2 a 2 ) × ( 1 4 w L ( L − 2 a ) ) × 1 E I = 1 16 w L ( L − 2 a ) 2 E I Calculate the moment ( M 2 ) over the span AB using the formula: M 2 = − 1 2 w x 2 Substitute L 2 for x . M 2 = − 1 2 w ( L 2 ) 2 = − 1 2 w ( L 2 4 ) = − 1 8 w L 2 Calculate the ratio of M 2 E I : Ratio = M 2 E I Substitute − 1 8 w L 2 for M 2 . M 2 E I = − 1 8 w L 2 E I = − 1 8 E I w L 2 Calculate the area ( A 2 ) due to the moment ( M 2 ) using the formula: A 2 = 1 3 b 2 h 2 Here, b 2 is the width of the parabola in area ( A 2 ) and h 2 is the height of the parabola in area ( A 2 )

A cover-plate beam is made up of an 1-Beam section with 300 mm x 12 mm plates attached to the top and bottom flanges and is fastened by two rows of 20 mm rivets. The beam is simply supported over a span of 6m and carries a uniformly distributed load of 270 kN/m including its own weight. a. Determine the distance from the centroid of the cover plate to the neutral axis of the built-up section. b. Determine the moment of inertia of the built-up section about its neutral axis. c. Determine the maximum flexural stress of the built-up section. 200 mm 30 mm 310 mm 30 mm 30 mm

The two beams shown have the same cross section and are joined by a hinge at C. For the loading shown, determine (a) the slope at point A, (b) the deflection at point B. Use E=29 *106 psi

The center span of the George Washington Bridge, as originally constructed, consisted ol a uniform roadway suspended from four cables. The uniform load supported by each cable was w9.75 kips/ft along the horizontal. Knowing that the span L is 3500 ft and that the sag h is 316 ft, determine for the original configuration (a) the maximum tension in each cable, (b) the length of each cable.
