What would be a way to simplify this plate model to a beam system so i can calculate the maximum bending moments at the fixed edge?Totally fixed edge (All rotations and translations)
The bending moment must be calculated by hand at where the arrow is pointing. If there were no columns, this would be an easy fix, however, due to the columns it is a bit more difficult to calculate the bending moments on the fixed edge in the middle of the 7m span. The bending stiffness is the same everywhere. Say 10000 kN/m2. Thanks!!!
Please, if you've got the solution, I would appreciate if you would give me a sketch on how to simplify this problem.
