Answer to Question #230785 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for Vasu

Question

Find support reactions for simply supported beam AB of span 12 m. The loading data
is as follows
Full Span UDL = 30 kN/m
Point Load 6m from Support A = 30 kN.

Answer 1

Due symmetry of the system, the reactions in supporst are the same

$R_A=R_B=\frac{30\:\rm kN+30\: kN/m*12 \:m}{2}=105\: \rm kN$
