Date of Exam:  November 2018

Subject:  Structural Engineering and Construction

Situation
A simply supported beam has a span of 12 m. The beam carries a total uniformly distributed load of 21.5 kN/m.
1.   To prevent excessive deflection, a support is added at midspan. Calculate the resulting moment (kN·m) at the added support.

A.   64.5 C.   258.0

B.   96.8 D.   86.0

2.   Calculate the resulting maximum positive moment (kN·m) when a support is added at midspan.

A.   96.75 C.   108.84

B.   54.42 D.   77.40

3.   Calculate the reaction (kN) at the added support.

A.   48.38 C.   161.2

B.   96.75 D.   80.62

2R1 + R2 = 21.5(12)
2R1 + 161.25 = 258
R1 = 48.375 kN
 

M2 = 48.375(6) − 21.5(6)(3)
M2 = −96.75 kN ⋅ m   ←   Answer for Part (1)
 

Vx = 48.375 − 21.5x = 0
x = 2.25 m

Mx = 48.375(2.25) − 10.75(2.252 )
Mx = 54.42 kN ⋅ m   ←   Answer for Part (2)
