1. Find the reactions for the partially loaded beam with a uniformly varying load shown in
Fig.1.

Figure 1

2. Determine the reactions at A and B for the beam shown in Fig.2.

3. A cantilever beam 5 m long is loaded as shown in Fig.3 Draw the shear force and bending
moments diagrams for the cantilever beam.

supported on two supports 6 m apart. Find the position of the supports so that the bending
moments on the beam as small as possible. Also draw S.F and B.M diagrams.

8. A beam of 10 m long and simply supported at each end has a uniformly distributed load of
1000N/m extending from left end upto the middle of the beam. There is also an anti-clockwise
couple of 15kNm at a distance of 2.5 m from the right end. Draw the S.F and B.M diagrams.
9. A square beam of 20 X 20 mm in section and 2m long is supported at the ends. The beam
fails when a point load of 400N is applied at the center of the beam. What uniformly distributed
load per meter length will break a cantilever beam of the same material 40 mm wide, 60 mm
deep and 3 m long?

10. A timber beam of rectangular section of length 8m is simply supported. The beam carries a
udl of 12kN/m run over the entire length and a point load of 10 kN at 3 m from the left support.
If the depth is two times the width and the stress in the timber is not to exceed 8N/mm2, find
the suitable dimensions of the beam.

11. An I section shown in fig.8 is simply supported over a span of 12m. If the maximum
permissible bending stress is 80 N/mm2, what concentrated load can be carried at a distance of
4 m from right support?

12. A cast iron beam of T section as shown in Fig.9. The beam is simply supported on a span
of 8 m. The beam carries a UDL of 1.5 kN/m length on the entire span. Find the maximum
tensile stress and compressive stresses.

13. A simply supported wooden beam of span 1.3 m having a cross section 150 mm wide by
250 mm deep carries a point load W at the centre. The permissible stresses are 7 N/mm 2 in
bending and 1 N/mm2 in shearing. Calculate the safe load W.

14. The shear force acting on a section of beam is 50kN. The section of the beam is T shaped
of dimensions 100 mm X 100 mm X 20 mm as shown in fig.10. Calculate the shear stress at
the neutral axis and at the junction of the web and the flange. Draw the shear stress variation
on the T shape beam.

15. The shear force acting on a beam at an I section wit unequal flanges is 50kN. The section
is shown in Fig.11. The moment of inertial of the section about the N.A is 2.849 x 104. Calculate
the shear stress at the N.A and also draw the shear stress distribution over the depth of the
section.
