$6\mathrm{.}15$ One of the concerns is the shear generated in the splice, point $B.$

a$.$ Guess where to place a distributed load to generate the peak shear at the splice $B($positive or negative$).$

b$.$ Develop the influence line for the shear at splice $B.$ The M$$ller$-$Breslau Method is probably the quickest.

c$.$ Identify where a distributed load must act to generate the largest shear at splice $B($positive or negative$).$

d$.$ What is the peak shear generated at splice $B$ due to a uniform distributed live load of $5k\frac{N}{m}?$

e$.$ Comment on why your guess in part $($a$)$ was or was not close to your conclusion in part $($c$).$
