TUTORIAL 6

Figure Q1, below shows a continuous beam of 250 mm x 600 mm of three equal
spans of 6.0 m long each. In the transerse !irection, the beams are at ".0 m
centers cast monolithicall# with a 1$0 mm thic% slab.
&he characteristic '() of ariable action is, q% * +0 %,-m an! characteristic '()
of permanent action is,
