Question: Consider a continous beam ABC that is supported by a hinge at A , roller at B , and hinge at C . Span of

Consider a continous beam ABC that is supported by a hinge at A, roller at B, and hinge at C. Span of AB is 40 feet with a point load of 10 kips that is 20 feet from point A. Span BC is 30 feet with a uniformly distributed load across the whole span BC of 2 kips/ft. Use the Force Method of Indeterminate Analysis and Method of Virtual Work to solve for the support reactions. Assume EI to be constant.
