- Beam ABC is fixed at support A and rests (at point B) upon the midpoint of beam DE (see part a of the figure). Thus, beam, ABC may be represented as a propped cantilever beam with an overhang BC and a linearly elastic support of stiffness k at point B (see part b of the figure). The distance from A to B is L = 10 ft, the distance from B to C is L/2 = 5 ft, and the length of beam DE is L = 10 ft. Both beams have the same flexural rigidity EI. A concentrated load P = 1700 lb acts at t lie free end of beam ABC. Determine the reactions RA, RB+ and MAfor beam ABC. Also, draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for beam ABC, labeling all critical ordinates.arrow_forwardCantilever beam AB carries an upward uniform load of intensity q1from x = 0 to L/2 (see Fig. a) and a downward uniform load of intensity q from x = L/2 to L.
