Tutorial 03

This document provides 10 problems for drawing influence lines and determining maximum shear and moment values for beams and girders under various loading conditions. The problems involve calculating things like maximum moment at specific points, maximum shear values, and maximum reactions given uniform and concentrated loads on beams with different support conditions like pinned, roller, or fixed supports. Solutions require using influence lines to determine the critical load positions that cause the maximum values.

Beams and girders


1. Draw the influence lines for (a) the moment at C, (b) the reaction at B, and (c) the shear at C.
Assume A is pinned and B is a roller.

2. Draw the influence lines for (a) the vertical reaction at A, (b) the moment at A, and (c) the
shear at B. Assume the support at A is fixed.

3. Draw the influence lines for (a) the vertical reaction at B, (b) the shear just to the right of the
rocker at A, and (c) the moment at C.

4. The beam is subjected to a uniform dead load of 1.2 kN/m and a single live load of 40 kN.
Determine (a) the maximum moment created by these loads at C, and (b) the maximum positive
shear at C. Assume A is a pin and B is a roller.

5. A uniform live load of 4 kN/m and a single concentrated force of 6 kN are to be placed on the
beam. The beam has a weight of 2 kN/m. Determine (a) the maximum vertical reaction at
support B, and (b) the maximum negative moment at point B. Assume the support at A is a
pin and B is a roller.

6. The beam is used to support a dead load of 9 kN/m, a live load of 30 kN/m and a concentrated live
load of 36 kN. Determine (a) the maximum positive (upward) reaction at A, (b) the maximum
positive moment at C, and (c) the maximum positive shear just to the right of the support at
A. Assume the support at A is a pin and B is a roller.

7. The beam is used to support a dead load of 800 N/m, a live load of 4 kN/m, and a concentrated
live load of 20 kN. Determine (a) the maximum positive (upward) reaction at B, (b) the maximum
positive moment at C, and (c) the maximum negative shear at C. Assume B and D are pins.

8. A uniform live load of 1.8 kN/m and a single concentrated live force of 4 kN are placed on the
floor beams. Determine (a) the maximum positive shear in panel BC of the girder and (b) the
maximum moment in the girder at G.

9. A uniform live load of 5 kN/m and a single concentrated live force of 6 kN are placed on the floor
beams. Determine (a) the maximum positive shear in panel AB, and (b) the maximum moment
in the girder at D. Assume only vertical reaction occur at the supports.

10. A uniform live load of 15 kN/m and a single concentrated live force of 25 kN are to be placed on
the top beams. Determine (a) the maximum positive shear in panel DC of the girder, and (b)
the maximum positive moment at C. Assume the support at B is a roller and at D a pin.
