Civil Engineering - My Yellow Book “Pre Board Exam” page 46 problems & Solutions By Ben David This is a past CE Board Exam no 17 CE Board Nov 2016 (Struc & Const) ‘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"?
