Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam fixed at both ends has a concentrated load at its center. Determine the maximum deflection and the location of this deflection.

💡 Hint: Consider the types of loads and related formulas for fixed beams.

Question 2

You are given a beam of length 10m with two loads of 5kN each located at 3m and 7m respectively. Calculate the deflection at the midpoint.

💡 Hint: Break down into segments based on each load's contribution.
