For the structure shown below calculate the position of the roller support from the free end of the beam (C) such that the moment at the fixed end (A) is zero kNm.
[Solution x=3.33m]

The beam below carries a load of triangular distribution with a maximum value of 3kN/m at midspan. The beam is made of Glulam with E=16GPa and has a second moment of area Imajor =1×10^9 mm4 Determine the deflection at...
Here is question for all of you retaking Structures 2 in September 2013 Imagine you are assessing the interesting cantilever beam arrangement shown below, you have conclude that the moment capacity of the supports is adequate but you are worried...
Judging from last weeks performance quite a few of you have forgotten how to draw BMD. So the next few questions will focus on this issue. The question focusses on a 3 span bridge with a drop-in span in the...
You drew your BMD wrong. There should be a moment on the fixed end. You drew it as a pinned end.
Hi God. ( i doubt thats your real name!)
Thanks for commenting, however i think you may not have properly understood the question. The question requires the moment at the built-in end to be zero. So that is why the final BMD does not show any moment at this point.
