QUIZ 4
DATE OF SUBMISSION: 18 MARCH 2022

QUESTION 1

A continuous beam ABCD carries loads as shown in Figure 1. The supports at B and C are
roller and pinned. Assume A and D 1 are fixed supports. It is subjected to a Uniform
Distributed Load (UDL) of 15 kN/m at span AB and vertical point load for a span BC and
CD. Take EI is constant.

a) Determine the internal moments at each support at the beam (C02, C3, PO2)
(12 Marks)
b) Calculate the reactions at each support (CO3, C3, PO2)
(5 Marks)
c) Sketch the Shear Force Diagram (SFD) and Bending Moment Diagram (BMD) (CO2,
C3, PO2)
(8 Marks)
