Review Module – STRENGTH OF MATERIALS (Stresses in Beams, Moving Loads)

32.01 Shear and Moment in Beams 32.02 Moving Loads

SITUATION I. SITUATION I.

Three-wheel loads roll as a unit across a 16m span. The

loads are A=20kN; B= 40kN, 2m to the right of A; and
C=60kN, 4m to the right of B.

a. Determine the maximum moment in the simply supported

beam.

b. Determine the maximum shear in the simply supported

beam.

c. If C is removed, determine the maximum moment in the

a. Determine the maximum shear and maximum moment. simply supported beam.
b. Draw the shear and moment diagrams.

SITUATION II.
A barge shown in the figure carries 290kN/m and 580kN/m
loads. (Use 1-m strip perpendicular to the figure).

a. Find the total length, L (m) so that the upward pressure

is uniform, and the barge remains horizontal.

b. If shear is zero at 5m from the left end, what is the upward

pressure in kN/m?

c. If the upward pressure is 145kN/m, what is the resulting

moment (kN-m) at first point of zero shear?
