Define a concentrated load.
Think about how weight is placed directly at one location.
What is the difference between UDL and LVDU?
Consider how weight might spread out across a beam differently.
What type of load is applied at a single point on a beam?
Think about weights placed on a shelf.
True or False: A fixed support can resist both vertical and horizontal forces.
Consider how rigid a fixed support is compared to others.
A simply supported beam is subjected to a UDL of 100 N/m across a 5m span. Calculate the reactions at the supports.
Use the equilibrium equations to analyze forces acting on supports.
Given a cantilever beam fixed at one end with a point load of 200 N at 3m from the fixed end, calculate the maximum bending moment.
Think about how point loads apply moments at distances.
