Hello,
I need to find the bending moment and forces at the mid point cross-sections of two separate beams connected together. One is a horizontal beam connected to the top of a vertical beam that sort of look like this:
H========
H
H
H
H
There is a UDL of 10kn/m on the top member, with the bottom of the vertical beam is fixed to the ground.
I need to find the bending moment and Forces at the midpoint cross-section of both beams separately. How would I go about doing this?
So far in my course we have only dealt with single beams that are simply supported.
My first attempt at this question was to treat them as two separate beams and firstly find the reaction bending moment at the joining of the two beams using the udl. Then I would take that moment as a acting on the end of the vertical beam and work my way from there. Does that moment act at the very tip of the upright beam or half the width down of the horizontal beam?
But honestly I am quite confused with this one... any help on the method (not answer) would be greatly appreciated :)
