A simply supported beam of 6m span carries a udl of 10 kN/m over the left support 2 m length and also carries point loads of 15 kN acts at a distances of 4 m respectively from left support. Find the support reactions.

 

SOLUTIONS:

Total load= 10×2+15= 35kN
Taking moments about A
RB×6 = 15×4+ (10×2) 2/2
RB×6 = 80
RB = 80/6 = 13.33kN
RA = Total load – RB
RA= 35 -13.33 = 21.67kN
