Deformations in Beams 421 I

Example 7.26 Moment-area method: SS beam with UD load
A simply supported beam carries a UD load of 20 kN/m over its span of 8 m. Determine the
slope at the ends and the deflection at mid-span if E = 200 GN/m2 and I = 30,000 cm4.
Solution The beam with the loading is shown in Fig. 7.44(a).
