2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the total load on a 63.6 ft beam with a uniform load of 1.6 k/ft?
Use the formula: Total Load = Load Per Foot × Length.
If a beam supports 102 k total load, what would be the reaction at each support in a symmetric situation?
Divide the total load by the number of supports.
What is the total load on a beam if the uniform load is 1.6 k/ft over a length of 63.6 ft?
Refer back to the formula involving load and length.
Each support in a simply supported beam equally carries what fraction of the total load?
Think about balance under symmetry conditions.
A 50 ft simply supported beam carries a triangular load that peaks at 2 k/ft at one end and tapers off to zero at the other end. Calculate the reactions at the supports.
Think about how to find the area of a triangle for total load.
If a uniformly loaded beam's reaction at one support increases by 10 k, how would this affect the forces along the beam?
Consider how load balancing works in a system.
