Ok, so I have a problem as follows:
A beam is simply supported at joints A, B, C D and E.
there is a UDL acting on the BC member
The member is 6m long with a UDL of 60kn/m
However the tricky part is that this member is 1.2 times higher than the height of the members AB, CD, and DE.
So BC = 1.2h, AB = CD = DE = h
I need to calculate the FIXED END MOMENT of CB and BC - which I am taking to be WLsq./12 - however I am unsure how the height element effects the caluclations
the answer is not 180 - that does not fit with my MDM calculations - anyone got any ideas?
