For Total Factored Moment at the Interior Support:

MB (Factored) = 1.2 MB (TDL) + 1.6 MB (TLL)
= 1.2 (-20.78) + 1.6 (-5.896)
= 34.3696 kN-m

For Total Dead Load Support Reactions and Shear at Supports

 M about B( section)=0
20.78 + RA (3.4) = 24.6 (0.5 * 3.4) + 3.53 (3.4) (0.5*3.4)
RA (TDL) = 12.189 kN
By Symmetry:
RA = RC
RC (TDL) = 12.189 kN

Fvertical=0
12.189 + RB + 12.189 = 24.6* 2 + 3.53 * 3.4 * 2
RB (TDL) = 48.826
Therefore,
|VA (TDL)|= 12.189 kN
|VC (TDL)|= 12.189 kN
|VB (TDL)|= 48.826 / 2 = 24.413 kN

For Total Live Load Support Reactions and Shear at Supports:

M about B( section)=0
5.896 + RA (3.4) = 9.25 * (0.5*3.4)
RA (TLL) = 2.89 kN
By Symmetry:
RA = RC
RC (TLL) = 2.89 kN

Fvertical=0
2.89 + RB + 2.89 = 9.25 + 9.25
RB (TLL) = 12.72 kN
Therefore,

|VA (TLL)|= 2.89 kN

|VC (TLL)|= 2.89 kN
|VB (TLL)|= 12.72 / 2 = 6.36 kN

For Total Factored Shear at the Supports:

VFactored = 1.2 V (TDL) + 1.6 V (TLL)
VA (Factored) = VC (Factored) = 1.2 * 12.189 + 1.6 * 2.89
= 19.251 kN

19.47kN

VB(Factored) = 1.2 * 24.413 + 1.6 * 6.36

= 39.4714 kN
