Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A uniform beam with varying loads is subjected to four different point loads. Use the Moment Area Method to determine the maximum deflection at the midspan.
💡 Hint: Divide the beam into segments and handle each loading scenario separately.
Given a cantilever beam subjected to a point load and a distributed load. Calculate the slope change and deflection using both the Moment Area Method and the double integration method. Compare results.
💡 Hint: Map out your areas clearly!
