Maximum Bending Moment
Maximunm bending moment will occur at a point where shear force change its sign
its sign at F and B.
Let the distance of point F be alxmeter from A.

Shear force at F = +20-(-1) (30) (- 1) =0


i.e.. 20- 15 (r- 1 = 0
20
1.e.., 20 = 15(r- 1)' : i.e.. = (X- 1)

i.e. 1.333 = x2r+ 1
i.e.. x-2x-0.333 = 0

Taking the +ve value, X= 2.1 547 m

BM at F= +20 x2.1547 -(2.1547- ) (30)(2.1547 - 1)1, x (2.1547 =+35.396 kNm


Maximum +ve bending moment at F=+ 35.396 kNm
Maximum -ve bending moment at B= -20 kNm
The BMD is drawn as shown in Fig. 5.96 (c).
Point of Contraflexure
It is the point where the BM changes its sign. Therefore the point of contraflexure is at G.
Let the distance of G be y meter from C
BM at G =0=-20y + 60 (y- 1)
1.e.. -20 y + 60y60 = 0
1.c.,
40y = 60 : ie., y=1.5 m
.. Point of contraflexure at Gis 1.5m from C.
