Solution:
Taking moment about B, we get
RA × 6+15×2 = 80×4.5
RA ×6+30 = 360
RA = 330÷6 = 55 kN
RB = (80+15) – 55 = 40 kN
S.F. diagram. Consider a section at a distance x from A.
For x to lie between A and C, the shear force is,
F = RA – (80÷3)x
= 55 – (80÷3)x
At. x = 0, F = 55 kN
At. x = 3m, F= – 25 kN
F = 0
When x = 165 ÷ 80
= 2.06 m
Shear force between C and B is constant and equal to 25 kN.
For x to lie between B and D,
F = RA + RB – 80
= 95 – 80
= 15 kN
The S.F. diagram is shown in Fig. 1.1(b). B.M. diagram. Between A and C, the bending moment is,
M = RA × x –(80÷3)x × (x÷2)
= 55x – (40÷3)x²
At. x = 0, M = 0
At. x = 3 m
M = 165 – 120 = 45 kN.m
At. x = 2.06 m
M = 113.3 – 56.6 = 56.7 kN.m
The variation of bending moment between A and C is parabolic.
For x to lie between C and B,
M = RA × x – 80(x – 1.5)
= 55x – 80x + 120
= 120 – 25x
At. x = 3 m
M = 120 – 75 = 45 kN.m
At. x = 6 m
