‘A propped cantilever beam is 10 meters long. It’s flexural capacity is 680 kNm. and it's web shear
capacity is 820 kN. Flexural rigidity of the beam is 65 x 10Nmm.1) Find the allowable load (kN/m)
on the beam based on its flexural capacity. 2) Find the allowable load based on its shear capacity.
3) The propped is removed resulting to diaplacement at the free end of the beam. Find the camper
required (mm) to offset the beam deflection at the free end.
Allowable load based on its shear capacity
SWL
Vmax = RL — WI = 3/8(L) — WiL) =
Given shear capacity = 820, 820=
5W(10)
@ Solving for
W = Vingx(8)(5)(10) = 2° = 131.20 kN Answer
5(10)
Camber required if the prop is removed to offset the deflection at the
free end
For uniform load cantilever — Refisction at end = = (wi*)/8El,
El = 65 X 10"? Nmm?* 65000k!
'54.4)(10)* =
