To determine the maximum positive shear value due to a single moving concentrated load, the load must be placed at the location of the maximum positive ordinate of the influence line.

The beam is fixed at wall B. Determine the internal bending moment at point C, which is x = 6 ft to the right of support A. Let L = 30 ft, M = 1,000 lb·ft, P = 725 lb and w0 = 175 lb/ft.

For the given influence line, where should a concentrated live load be placed to have the largest positive influence?

Determine the beam deflection at point B. Assume E = 246 GPa and I = 210 × 106 mm4 are constant.

Determine the beam deflection at point H. Assume that EI = 4.96 × 1010 kN-mm2 is constant.

What will the conjugate beam look like at A, B, and C?

Wind is considered what type of load?

Determine the beam deflection at point H. Assume that EI = 3.54 × 1010 kN-mm2 is constant.

Determine the vertical displacement of joint A if members AE and DE experience a temperature increase of 33°C. Let L = 8 m and α = 9.5E-6/°C.

The beam supports a uniform live load of 600 lb/ft. Determine the maximum positive shear that can be developed at point B. Assume the support at A is a pin and C is a roller. The influence lines for VB and MB are shown, along with the peak values of the influence lines.
