Q. A beam of length 5 m, simply supported over a span of 4 m and is having 1 m overhang on the right hand support. It carries two point loads 2kN and 4 kN at the distances of 3 m and 5 m from LHS and a udi of 2 kN/m spread over 3 m from LHS. Draw SF and BM diagrama state the position and magnitude of max +ve BM and the position of point of contraflexure.
SOLUTION: Total load = (2 * 3) + 2 + 4 = 12kN To find reactions Taking moments about A R{B} * 4 = 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + (2 * 3) * 3/2 R{B} = 35/4 = 8.75kN R{A} = 12 – 8.75 = 3.25kN SFD ( SHEAR FORCE DIAGRAM) F{A} … Read more
