Example 2
A two-span beam is loaded as shown in Figure B2. The concentrated load 15kN is acting on
the midspan of member AB. Given EI is constant throughout the beam with E = 200 GPa and
I = 216x106 mm4.
a) Determine the magnitude and direction of rotation at B and C.
b) Calculate the internal member forces for member BC. Given support A settles
vertically by 2/EI.
