Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simply supported beam with a span of 7 m. The total load is 20 kN/m, including dead and live loads. Calculate the required section modulus.
💡 Hint: Review the formulas for bending moment and section modulus.
Evaluate the deflection of a simply supported beam with a span of 6 m under a uniform load of 10 kN/m. Suggest ways to reduce the deflection.
💡 Hint: Consider factors affecting deflection, like the moment of inertia.
