Problem 1
Determine the shear force and bending moment distributions and draw the
SFD and BMD of the simply supported beam loaded by the force distribution
as shown in Fig. 2.
Solution
The FBD of the beam with equivalent loading is shown in Fig. 3. The
equivalent concentrated force magnitude is easily obtained as P = qL/2,
which acts at the centroid of the distribution as shown. Using the equations
of equilibrium RA = qL/6 and RB = qL/3.
Now, for shear force distribution, we consider the FBD with the distributed
force as shown in Fig. 4. The shear force distribution is given by

Problem 2
The free end of a cantilever beam is hinged to a beam with a simply supported
end and loaded, as shown in Fig. 6. Determine the shear force and bending
moment distributions, and draw the SFD and BMD.
Solution
The composite beam is an indeterminate structure. So, we consider the
FBD of the individual beams, as shown in Fig. 7. From the equations of
equilibrium, R = F = 10 kN, V0 = 42 kN, and M0 = 208 kNm. In the

Problem 3
A thin and narrow 9 m long barge floating in water is loaded appropriately
to keep it horizontal, as shown in Fig. 9. Treating the barge as a beam,
determine the shear force and bending moment distributions, and draw the
SFD and BMD.
Solution
We assume that the barge is uniformly supported from below due to the
buoyancy force. The uniform support force distribution is obtained as

The FBD of the barge is shown in Fig. 10. We divide the barge into four
sections, as shown.

One can continue this and obtain the shear force and bending moment
distributions as shown in Fig. 11.
