For the four-span continuous girder shown above, determine the following: The positive moment at the midspan of span 2 due to a permanent load (Dead load) resulting from a uniform load of 1 kip/foot over the entire girder length The negative moment at support B due to a permanent load (dead load) resulting from a uniform load of 1 kip per foot over the entire girder length. The maximum positive live load moment at mid-span of span 2 The largest negative live load moment at support B The maximum shear in span 2 adjacent to support B Base on HL93 live loading. Express moments and shears per lane, including impact. Assume a constant moment of inertia for the girder. Use influence lines to compute the moments. Show all work.
