QUESTION - 1
A beam of 6m. long is fixed at A & simply supported at B. it carries a UDL of
50KN/m in the middle third of the beam. draw the SFD & BMD of the given
beam.
SOLUTION:
 Support at B is removed
=>Ra=100KN
 The deflection at B=moment of M/EI diagram about B
= (1/2*200*2*16/3+100*2*5+1/3*100*2*7/2)
*1/EI
=2300/EI
 Rb is considered.
Deflection at B=(6*Rb*6/2*2*6/3)/EI
 Both the deflections are same.
By equating 2 & 3 we get
Rb=31.94KN
=>Ra=100-31.94
=68.06KN
Ma=31.94*6-100*3=-108.36KN.m
Mb=0
Mc=31.94*4-100=27.76KNm
Md=31.94*2=63.88KNm
 With the computed data SFD & BMD of given beam is drawn.

 The support at A is removed.
Rb=40KN
 The deflection at A =the moment of M/EI diagram about A
=1/3*4*80*3*1/EI
=320/EI
 Ra is considered.
The deflection at A=1/2*4*4Ra*2.67*1/EI
=534Ra/25EI
 Both deflections are same.

QUESTION - 3
A cantilever beam has a rigid support 10mm below free end. Analysis this
beam if two-point loads of 40KN & 60KN are acting at a distance of 2m &
4m respectively from free end. EI=150000KNm 2
SOLUTION:
The rigid support is 10mm below free end means the beam is sinking.
EI*0.01=-1500
=>A1X1+A2X2=-1500
=>(1/2*6RB*6*4) -(1/2*120*2) -(1/2*200*2*10/3) -(2*120*5) =-1500
=>72RB=-1500+8000/3
=>RB=16.20KN
=>RA=83.80KN
MA=16.20*6-60*4-40*2=-222.8KNm
MC=16.20*4-60*2=-55.2KNm
MD=16.20*2=32.4KNm

QUESTION - 4
A cantilever beam AB of span 4m is supported by a 2m long 3mm diameter
wire CB. Determine the force developed in the wire if an UDL of 20KN/m
acts at a distance 3m from fixed end. Assume EI=5000KNm 2 for beam &
E=200KN/m2 for wire.
SOLUTION:
LET
Deflection due to external load =X
Deflection due to developed force =X1
Deflection due to propped reaction=X2
X=X1+X2
X=1/3*3*90/EI*3.25
=292.5/EI
=0.0585KNm ----------------------------------------------------------------------1
X1=PL/AE A=Pi/4*0.003 2=7.068*10-6 m2
=1.414*10-3P ----------------------------------------------------------------------2

end of cantilever beam BC of span 2m. if 60KN load acts on beam AB at
2m from fixed end. Find the reaction at fixed ends A & C. assume
EIAB=EIBC/2
SOLUTION:
1.Considering only AB not resting on BC
Deflection= X= [1/2*120*2*(2/3*2+1)] *1/EI
=280/EI
2.considering Rb, now the deflection be X2
X2=(1/2*3Rb*3*2) *1/EI
3.Now the downward force on BC to kept it in position
X1=(1/2*2Rb*2/3*2*2)/(EI/2)
