Problem 3:
A beam with built – ends has a span of 3m.
From the given figure.
It is subjected to a concentrated load of 18kN
acting at 1m from A. 20kN 30kN

1. Compute the moment at A. 7. Compute the moment at A.

2. Compute the moment at B. 8. Compute the moment at B.
3. Compute the reaction at A. 9. Compute the max positive moment of
the beam.

Problem 2:
A 6m cantilever retaining wall, with an active
pressure which varies from zero at the top
and 35kN/m at the bottom. Assume EI is
constant.
4. Compute the maximum moment.
5. Determine the maximum shear.
6. If the wall is laterally supported at the
free end and fixed at the base, find
the moment at the foundation.
