Question: A steel I - beam is continuous over two 4 0 f t spans and supports two 4 5 kip point loads. a ) If

A steel I-beam is continuous over two 40ft spans and supports two 45kip point loads.
a) If support B was removed, calculate the downwards deflection of point B on the beam. Assume E=29,000ksi and I=11,000in4.
b) If support B was removed and the 45 kip loads are also removed, how far up would point B move if an upwards force of 1 kip was applied at B? This is just a point loaded beam with 1 kip upwards.
c) Calculate how much of the total 90 kip applied load shown will be carried by support B and draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the member. You will need answers to part A and B to solve this.
