Hi
I have done a little presentation analysing a double overhanging beam. Please could one of you wonderful seasoned
Engineers let me know if I have got it correct?
The first image is of the beam with 2 point loads of 20Kn and a UDL of 50KNm
as $4539
w
Mt Kilimanjaro Trek -
$3606
Machame Route (8
I've tried to make it as clear as possible but hope that you will be critical with your comments.
Many thanks
one obvious problem is your reactions don't balance the applied loads ...
140kn applied, 90kN reacted.
this is something you should've done yourself.
it looks as though you've applied the 50kN/m over only 1m (not 2m as shown).
I thought you applied the UDL as a point load at the midpoint of the span? i.e. 50Kn x 1. Therefore there is is 90 kN
applied?
you can (for the purposes of getting external reactions) replace a UDL with a point load at the centroid but the load is
50kN/m*2m.
For internal shears and moments you should carefully apply the method of cuts to the loading (as you have done).
I think you can fudge the problem to get your reactions ...
if 25kN/m applied to the RH overhang, then ...
sumMa ... 4B = -80+40+50*5 ... B = 57.5 kN
sumMb ... 4A = -50+40+160 ... A = 37.5 kN
applied load = 90 kN = sum reactions.
