Q. Calculate the max bending moment for a simply supported beam with udl of 2 kN/m throughout its span. Length of beam is 4 m.

Q. Calculate the max bending moment for a simply supported beam with udl of 2 kN/m throughout its span. Length of beam is 4 m. SOLUTION: Given loading on the beam is Symmetrical hence RA = RB= 4 × 2 /2= 4kN BMD (BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAM) MA = MB = 0 MC = 4 × … Read more

Q.A cantilever AB is 6 m long and is fixed at A. It carries point loads of 10 kN, 8 kN and 12 kN at 2 m, 5 m and 6 m respectively from the fixed end. Draw SFD and state max SF

SOLUTION: SHEAR FORCE DIAGRAM FA =30 kN (same in between AC) FC (just left of C) = 30 kN FC (just right of C) = 20 kN FD (just left of D) = 20 kN FD (just right of D) = 12 kN FB =(just left of B) = 12 kN FB (just right of … Read more
