Q4. A simply supported beam with a span of 8m has a uniformly distributed load of 20kNm from
the left support to middle of the span and a concentrated moment of 40kNm(clockwise) at 2m
from support B(point C) as shown in Figure Q4. Please take E=210GPa and I=510-5m4.
Please do the following:
(a) Obtain the reaction forces at the supports, clearly stating the direction of these.
(b) Using the Macaulay's function determine the slope of the beam at both supports, and the
vertical deformation at midspan, clearly stating the direction of the slopes and the
deformation in each case.
