Question

The maximum bending moment under a particular point load among a train of point loads crossing a simply supported girder occurs when that load is

• A. At mid-span
• B. So placed that the load point and the point of CG of the train of loads are equidistant from the mid-span
• C. A one-quarter span
• D. At one-third span

Answer 1

The correct option is B So placed that the load point and the point of CG of the train of loads are equidistant from the mid-span

So placed that the load point and the point of CG of the train of loads are equidistant from the mid-span
