Department of Civil Engineering, University of Malaya Beam Analysis Revision Q1 2006/07 SEMESTER1

This document contains instructions for a beam analysis problem involving an overhanging beam supported on rollers and hinges and loaded with uniform and point loads. Students are asked to: (1) find the support reactions, (2) state the equations for axial, shear and bending moments over each span using sign conventions, (3) draw the diagrams for these values, and (4) determine maximum bending moments and any points of contraflexure. The problem is worth 25 marks.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA BEAM ANALYSIS REVISION Q1 2006/07 SEMESTER1

1.

An overhanging beam ABCDE, length 25 m, is supported on rollers at A and hinged at D. If the beam is loaded with a uniformly distributed load of 3 kN/m on span AB, an inclined load of 5 kN acts at C and a vertical load of 8 kN at E, as shown in Figure 1, i) ii) Find the support reactions at A and D State the equations of the axial force, shear force and bending moment for spans AB, BC, CD and DE. State the sign convention used. Draw the axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams, giving the main values of these functions. Determine also the location and the value of the maximum bending moments. Determine the location of the point of contra-flexure (PCF), if any.

iii)

iv)

(It is easier to plot the above functions using graph paper) (25 marks)
