Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cantilever beam of length 8 m is subjected to a point load of 1000 N at the free end. Calculate the reactions at the fixed support.
💡 Hint: Remember to express reactions and moments, considering the beam's support constraints.
Analyze a continuous beam with two spans of 5 m each, uniformly loaded with 2 kN/m. Determine the internal forces at mid-spans.
💡 Hint: Breaking the spans into segments can simplify calculations.
