4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to shear force at the midpoint of a simply supported beam?
Consider how forces are distributed in equilibrium.
Define a simply supported beam.
Think about how it's supported.
What is the shape of the moment diagram for a simply supported beam under uniform load?
Think about how moments change under static loading.
True or False: The maximum moment occurs at the supports of a beam.
Recall where the load's effects are greatest.
A simply supported beam with a length of 20 ft is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 3 k/ft. Calculate the maximum moment and shear at midspan.
Use the moment equation and consider the location of maximum values.
For a beam with a triangular load distribution peaking at 4 k/ft over a length of 10 ft, derive the expressions for the shear and moment.
Consider how load changes shape and the effect on internal forces.
