1. For the beams shown in figs below draw BM and SF diagram. Also find maximum BM.
(a).
2. A beam ABCD, 7 metres long, supported at B, 1 m from end A and at D carries a uniformly
distributed load of 2 tonnes/metre run starting from end A upto the point 5 metre from end A.
Draw the B.M. diagram. Find point of contraflexure.
3. A simply supported beam of length 10 is subjected to a uniform distributed load (UDL) of
intensity 15 kN/m along its entire length. Additionally, a point load 45 kN is applied at a
distance 6 meters from the left support, and a moment 18 kN·m is applied at the right support.
Draw the shear force diagram (SFD) and bending moment diagram (BMD) for the beam.
4. a cantilever ABC 5 m long free at end A and fixed at end C. A concentrated load 4 kN act at
A and 8 kN act at B 3 m from C. Draw SFD and BMD
5. A beam ABC, 5 m long, free at end A and fixed at C, carries a uniformly distributed load of
1.5 tonne/metre run from the point B, 1 m from end A, up to the point C. Draw the SF & BM
diagram for the cantilever.
6. A cantilever ACB, 5 m long carries a linearly varying load starting from zero rate of loading
at A to 600 kg/m run at C, 4 m from the end A Draw the SF and BM diagram.
7. A simply supported beam of length 6meters has an internal hinge located 3 meters from the
left support. The beam is subjected to a uniform distributed load (UDL) of intensity 5 kN/m
along its entire length. Additionally, a point load of 10 kN is applied at a distance 2 meters
from the left support. Determine the shear force diagram (SFD) and bending moment diagram
(BMD) for the beam, considering the internal hinge and the effects of the applied loads.
