Think about the fundamental definitions of vertical loading.
True or False: Shear forces always remain constant in a structure.
Consider how loads affect various structural components.
Assess the moment on a fixed column experiencing both a distributed vertical load of 20 kN/m over 4 m and a point load of 30 kN at the end.
Decompose the load effects before combining!
