Select Units: Leave Feedback Clear Beam Save Link On This Calculation

This document provides an analysis of the reactions, shear forces, and bending moments of a beam that is subjected to multiple loads. The beam has a length of 5 meters and is supported at one end, with point loads and distributed loads applied. The document calculates the support reactions, draws the shear force and bending moment diagrams, and verifies equilibrium equations.

Calculate the reactions at the supports of a beam

A beam is in equilibrium when it is stationary relative to an inertial reference frame. The following conditions are satisfied when a beam, acted upon by a system of forces and moments, is in
equilibrium.
1. The fixed support is located at point A (on the left) . A fixed support will resist translation in all directions and rotation (moment) (HA, RA, MA).
2. The sum of the forces and moment about any point is zero: ΣFx = 0, ΣFy = 0, ΣMA = 0.
ΣFx = 0: HA = 0
ΣFy = 0: RA - q1*5 - q2*5 - P1 = 0;
ΣMA = 0: MA - q1*5*(5/2) - q2*5*(5/2) - 5*P1 = 0;
3. Solve this system of equations:
HA = 0 (kN)
RA = q1*5 + q2*5 + P1 = 42*5 + 42.5*5 + 21 = 443.50 (kN)
MA = q1*5*(5/2) + q2*5*(5/2) + 5*P1 = 42*5*(5/2) + 42.5*5*(5/2) + 5*21 = 1161.25 (kN*m)
4. Verification equation of equilibrium about the free end of the beam:
- 5*RA + MA + q1*5*(5/2) + q2*5*(5/2) + 0*P1 = - 5*443.50 + 1161.25 + 42*5*(5/2) + 42.5*5*(5/2) + 0*21 = 0

Draw diagrams for the beam


Consider rst span of the beam 0 ≤ x1 < 5

Determine the equations for the shear force (Q):


Q(x1) = + RA - q1*(x1 - 0) - q2*(x1 - 0)
The values of Q at the edges of the span:
Q1(0) = + 443.50 - 42*(0 - 0) - 42.50*(0 - 0) = 443.50 (kN)
Q1(5) = + 443.50 - 42*(5 - 0) - 42.50*(5 - 0) = 21 (kN)
Determine the equations for the bending moment (M):
M(x1) = + RA*(x1) - MA - q1*(x1)2/2 - q2*(x1)2/2
The values of M at the edges of the span:
M1(0) = + 443.50*(0) - 1161.25 - 42*(0 - 0)2/2 - 42.50*(0 - 0)2/2 = -1161.25 (kN*m)
M1(5) = + 443.50*(5) - 1161.25 - 42*(5 - 0)2/2 - 42.50*(5 - 0)2/2 = 0 (kN*m)
