Question

Evaluate the bending moment and shear force at points A; B; C; D; E
and draw the SFD and BMD for the simply supported beam loaded as
shown in figure below.

Answer 1

In case of simply supported beam, bending moment will be zero at supports. And it will be maximum where shear force is zero. Bending moment at point B = M(B) = R1 x Distance of R1 from point B.Oct 1
