What are the two main types of loads on beams?
Think of how the load is applied.
Give an example of a concentrated load.
Think about loads that act at specific points.
What type of load is applied at a specific point on a beam?
Focus on how and where the load is applied.
True or False: A uniformly distributed load has varying intensity across the beam.
Consider what 'uniformly' implies.
A beam is supported at both ends and has a UDL of 300 N/m over 5 m. What are the supports' reactions?
Consider static equilibrium.
Estimate the effects of a concentrated force of 1000 N at the midpoint of a cantilever beam of 4 m. Discuss shear and bending moment.
Think about how moments and shear relate to beam supports.
