Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A simply supported beam with a length of 8m has a uniform load of 20 kN/m applied across its span. Calculate the shear and moment at the midpoint of the beam.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to break down the uniform load into equivalent forces.
Design a beam that can safely support a central point load of 100 kN, having a length of 6m. Include shear and moment diagrams in your solution.
💡 Hint: Keep in mind material properties and safety factors during calculations.
