3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define a simply supported beam.
Think about the supports and how they affect the beam.
What is the load transfer path for a floor system?
Visualize the path that loads take.
What type of supports does a simply supported beam have?
Remember how the supports are designed.
True or False: Simply supported beams can resist moments at their supports.
Think about the definition of 'simply supported'.
Given a simply supported beam of 8 m length subjected to a uniform load of 12 kN/m, calculate the reactions at the supports and the maximum bending moment. Also, assess if a beam with a section modulus of 150 cm³ is adequate if the permissible bending stress is 200 MPa.
Use the static equilibrium equations to solve for reactions first.
If a simply supported beam deflects 5 mm under a load and the permissible limit is span/325, what should the span of the beam not exceed?
Remember to convert that deflection into a span limit.
