Approximate general solutions for the maximum bending moments and shearing forces in uniformly loaded beams
of three or more spans are given in Table 3.5. This table is reproduced from BS 8110 Part 1: 1997.
Table 3.5: Moments and shear coefficients of continuous beam (Ref. BS 8110: Part 1: 1997)
Note: Values apply where characteristic variable load does not exceed characteristic permanent load and
variations is span length do not exceed 15% of the longest span. (F is the total design load on span, and L is the
effective span)

Notes:
1. l is the effective length
2. al is the distance to allow for tensile force due to shear force = z cot /2. Can conservatively taken as 1.125d
3. lbd is the design anchorage length.
4. qk gk
5. Minimum of two spans required
6. Applies to uniformly distributed loads only.
7. The shortest span must be greater than or equal to 0.85 times the longest span
8. Applies where 15% redistribution has been used.
