a) From the examples seen in the course what is the tendency that a point load produces on a bending moment diagram of a beam? b) What is the tendency of a distributed load on a bending moment diagram of a beam? Given the beam in question 1, what would the bending moment be at x = 12 c) 20 KN 46.875 KN 0 5 100 KN 5 + 15 kN/m 10 d) Given the beam below, using the sign convention, explain in detail what will happen to the bending moment diagram throughout the length of the structure. 10 12 + 15 kN/m 15 m 15 + 21.875 KN X 20 m e) An engineering firm assessing the bending moment diagram of a beam determined that the maximum bending moment was significant and that necessary steps would have to be taken to reduce it. Explain what design changes can be done for the excessive bending moment and also what the maximum signifies.
