Thank you! It’s a continuous beam. I think I can solve it now. I ran into 2 other problems i’m having trouble with as well. How would I draw the loading diagrams for these 2 problems? How do I calculate the force pushing up on either end where the column joints are? If that even makes sense...jrmichler said:First, are the beams connected with pin joints at B and E? That needs to be understood before proceeding.
After you are clear on the problem to be solved, the technique is to start wherever you can calculate something. Usually, you can calculate at least one unknown force, and the result will allow you to find another unknown force. Keep going until you have all unknown forces. Then you will be ready to start the shear and moment diagrams.
The reaction forces at A and F would be a good place to start. From those, you can find the reaction forces at B and E, followed by ...
Statics is the study of forces and their effects on stationary objects, while structural analysis is the study of the behavior and stability of structures under applied loads.
Statics and structural analysis are important for understanding the behavior of structures, predicting their performance, and ensuring their safety and stability.
The main types of structural analysis include static analysis, dynamic analysis, and finite element analysis.
Statics and structural analysis are used in various industries such as construction, aerospace, and automotive to design and analyze structures and ensure their safety and efficiency.
Some common challenges in statics and structural analysis include accurately modeling real-world conditions, dealing with complex geometries, and accounting for material properties and external factors such as wind and earthquakes.
