Beam Analysis: Support Reactions & Diagrams

The document describes a beam loaded with uniform and point loads. It asks to determine support reactions, draw bending moment and M/EI diagrams, and calculate slope and deflection at a point using moment area theorems. It also describes an indeterminate beam and asks to analyze it using slope deflection method to determine moments and reactions, and check column buckling.

Q3. (30 Marks]
Figure Q3 shows an indeterminate beam that is to be analysed using slope deflection method.
Supports A and D are fixed and B and C are roller. Flexural stiffness is EI for sections AB and
BC and 2EI for the section CD of the beam.

Note: E = 200 GPa and I= 800 x 106 mm"for the beam.

For the internal span of a beam shown in Figure AI, slope deflection relations can be expressed
using the following equations.

MAB = 2E ~ [ zeA + e8 - 3 ~] + (FEM)AB

MBA = 2E ~ [ 28s + 8A - 3 ~J + (FEM)sA
