 BEAMS

Beams are structural members which offer resistance to bending due to

applied loads.

• Beams supported so that their external support reactions can be calculated by the methods
of statics alone are called statically determinate beams.
• A beam which has more supports than needed to provide equilibrium is statically
indeterminate.

 Beams : Distributed Loads

• The resultant load R is represented by the area formed

by the intensity w (force per unit length of beam) and the
length L over which the force is distributed.
• The resultant passes through the centroid of this area
• In case of load as in (c), the trapezoidal area is broken
into a rectangular and a triangular area, and the
corresponding resultants R1 and R2 of these subareas
are determined separately

Exercise (2)

A fixed crane has a mass of 1000 kg and is

used to lift a 2400-kg crate. It is held in place
by a pin at A and a rocker at B. The center of
gravity of the crane is located at G. Determine
the components of the reactions at A and B
