3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define what a simply supported beam is.
Think about its supports.
What are the two primary types of loads in beam design?
Consider the loads acting on a beam's structure.
What defines a simply supported beam?
Consider how many supports it has.
True or False: The maximum shear force in a simply supported beam is applied at the midspan.
Where would you expect the greatest force?
Evaluate a simply supported beam with a 5m span, experiencing a total uniform load of 20kN/m including self-weight. Calculate the required section modulus assuming permissible bending stress is 150 MPa.
Find the moment first, then use bending stress principles.
Design a secondary beam in a floor system connecting to main beams. The beam spans 4m and supports a load of 8kN/m. Describe the necessary detailing connections.
Think about stability and load transfer capabilities.
