value of EI for the

(3000)+13(1)(75)13(5)

beam shown in Fig. P-

F1=F2=2200 Nm2

(1875)]

653. (Hint: Draw the M

diagram by parts,

For this beam, the

maximum deflection will
occur at the midspan.

starting from midspan

toward the ends. Also
take advantage of
symmetry.

2200(2.5)

R1=R2=1200 N

Mmidspan=3350 Nm3

(1875)[14(2.5)]

Therefore, the maximum

deflection is

EI max=Mmidspan
The loads of conjugate
beam are symmetrical,
thus,

F1=F2=12[12(5)
