Load Pattern

Situation 1: Given in the figure are the possible load patterns and
corresponding reactions, shears, and moments.

Given:

L = 8 m ; S1 = S3 = 2.5 m ; S2 = 3 m
Dead load including concrete = 4.6 kPa
Live load = 4.8 kPa
For maximum stresses, apply the following:
1. Pattern loading for live load
2. Ultimate load combination, U = 1.2D + 1.6L

Calculate the following:

a. Maximum factored reaction (kN) at L.

b. Minimum factored reaction (kN) at O.
c. Maximum factored moment (kN-m) at L.
