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 mid-span due to the applied loads.
HINT (1) Determine the reactions due to applied loads (2) Determine the equation of the moment diagram. ( 3) use a unit load
(4) 1GPa is 1000N/mm2

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...
Here is a question from structures 2 but i'm sure first years will get it right. Question: Which BMD is the correct for the cantilever beam shown? Solution: Lets start from the point where the load is applied. It might...
