Question

in the figure. A propped cantilever beam is subjected to a distributed load $q(x)$ as shown (1) Select the redundant reaction and the associated released structure. (2) Show the compatibility (boundary condition) associated with the released structure. (3) Determine the reaction forces $R_A$, $R_B$, and $M_A$ in terms of $q_0$ and $L$ using superposition method only.

Step 1

To determine the redundant reaction and the associated released structure, we need to identify a support that is not necessary for the equilibrium of the beam. In this case, the redundant reaction is the support at the fixed end of the cantilever beam. The Show more…
