The support reaction Or being exerted through distributed shear forces, its elfect can be compared to that of the sell weight We See (fm = mean radus) Figure 8.1 : Suppon loading diagram Since no discontinuty in deformation can occur on. the support edge, ovalisal-on gradually decreases along both sides of support.
