Tasks

In this assignment you will carry out an analysis and design of a beam with the loads shown below. The results of the analysis will then be used to perform the design on the beam in both structural steel and reinforced concrete.

Part $1($a$)$: $-$ To be completed as part of in$-$class assessment.

Each person in the class will get their own factored load and span combination assigned to them, see below.

Using the loads specified and the equations of statics, find the Reactions at $B$ and $D.$

Part $1($b$)$:

Find the shear force and bending moment values at all the pertinent points: A$,$ B$,$ C$,$ D$,$ E & at the point of max bending moment.

Find the points of contraflexure $($points of zero bending moment between $B$ & D$).$

$|P1|=30k$

$P2=15k$

$W=13kN$

$A=2\mathrm{.}5m$

$B=8\mathrm{.}5m$

$C=2\mathrm{.}1$

$L=9\mathrm{.}9m$

The individual span and load values are shown over.
