Analysis of Continuous Members

3 important questions on Analysis of Continuous Members

What is static bending moment for a typical member subjected to a UDL?

WL^2/8, this is the maximum moment calculated for a ss beam

For a fixed end beam subject to a UDL, how far away are the points of inflection from the supports?

21% of the length

When can maximum factored bending moments in all spans be determined from 1 loading case on all spans?

When LL is uniformly distributed and does not exceed 3/4 of DL
LL causes all panels to be loaded simultaneously

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
