Question

Consider the bellow beam. Which of the statement is correct?

• A. For maximum moment at B, a concentration load should be placed midway between C and B.
• B. For maximum shear at C, a concentrated load should be just right to C.
• C. For maximum reaction at B, a concentrated load can be any where between C and B.
• D. For maximum reaction at A, a concentrated load can be anywhere between A and C.

Answer 1

The correct option is C For maximum reaction at B, a concentrated load can be any where between C and B.

ILD for reaction at A

ILD for reaction at B

For maximum reaction at B, apply A concentrated load just right of C or anywhere between C and B. Hence correct option is (b).
