Computer analysis of a continuous beam. The continuous beam in Figure P5.56 is constructed from a W12 × 152 wide flange steel section with A = 44.7 in.² and I = 1430 in.⁴. Determine the reactions, plot the shear and moment curves and the deflected shape. Evaluate the deflections. Neglect weight of beam. E = 29,000 ksi.
