Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A structural designer needs to ensure that the maximum moment in a beam does not exceed 10 kN*m. Calculate the maximum allowable uniform load if the beam length is 5 meters.
💡 Hint: Make sure you correctly convert the formula to find the load.
For a girder supporting multiple floors with an imposed load leading to a shear force of 15 kN, what is the maximum moment produced assuming the span length is 4 meters?
💡 Hint: Remember to identify the distance correctly to relate force to moment.
