Q1: A cantilever beam having span ‘L’ m was subjected to a
uniformly distributed load of magnitude 8 kN/m for a distance of
‘0.6 L’ from the free end and two concentrated loads one of
magnitude 15 kN at a distance ‘0.25 L’ m from the free end while
the other of magnitude ‘22’ kN at a distance ‘0.6 L’ m from the
free end respectively. It was observed that the maximum bending
moment acting on the beam is equal to (-369 kNm). Suggest a
suitable span for the beam based on the loading condition. How it
will change the reaction at the fixed support? What happens to the
shear force and bending moment values at the fixed support, free
end and at the center of the beam? By plotting bending moment and
shear force diagram for the beam briefly conclude the relationship
between the values for shear force and bending moment.
