Question

A beam is loaded and supported below. Assume that EI is constant for the beam. (a) Determine the reactions at supports A and C. (b) Determine the deflection in the middle of the span (@ point B). Hint: you can either use integration method, or superposition method. You ONLY need to use one method. If you use superposition method, you can refer to the deflection of cantilever beam due to concentrated moment M in the Appendix C - Beam 9 and Beam 7 (textbook page 855.)
