SP 2
E 4100 ksi (Young's Modulus)
I 100,000 in4 (Moment of Inertia)
L 480 in (length of beam)
F 100 kips (applied force)
Use both Method 1 and Method 2 to complete the problems below.
-Method 1 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 calcs 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?
