Use both Method I and Method 2 to complete the problems below - Method I must be some form of hand solution without the use of software. You may use methods from structural mechanics, tables from the textbook or internet, etc. Clearly present your results and the method you used. - Method 2 must be some form of computer solution to confirm your results from method 1. You may use software, internet applications, etc. Use screenshots to prove that you have verified your calculations from method 1.
a) Draw shear and moment diagrams for the beam (realize that this beam is statically indeterminate because of the fix-fix boundary conditions).
b) What is the maximum vertical deflection of this beam?
