Question: A simply supported beam ( length , L = 6 . 0 m ) supports a UDL of 2 4 kN / m along its

A simply supported beam (length, L =6.0m) supports a UDL of 24 kN/m along its entire
length, as well as a point load (P) at midspan.
i. Knowing that the beam supports a Vmax =112 kN, calculate the maximum intensity
for the point load (P).[4]
ii. Knowing that the beam supports a Mmax =216 kN-m, calculate the maximum
intensity for the point load (P).[4]
iii. What is the maximum allowed value of the point load? [2]
