This document contains 4 problems involving calculating reaction forces at supports for different structures: a pole leaning against a wall, a girder supported by columns, a bridge over a river loaded at panel points, and a roof truss with wind forces applied normally to the upper chord. For each problem, the document provides a diagram and asks to calculate the reactions at the labeled supports.

Problems 2.34 A pole AB leans against a smooth, frictionless wall at B. Calculate the vertical and horizontal components of the reactions of A and B.
2.35 The girder shown is supported by columns at A and
B. Two smaller beams push downward on the girder with a force of 40 kN at C, and two other beams push downward with a force of 50 kN at D. Find the reactions at A and B.
2.36 A bridge over a river is loaded at three panel points.
Determine the support reactions at A and B.
2.37 Wind forces on the windward roof slope are applied
normally to the upper truss chord. Determine the wall reactions developed at A and D.
