DESIGN

LANDING A, gk = 4.13 + 1.30 = 5.43 kN/m

n = 1.4 x 5.43 + 1.6 x 4.0 = 14.00 kN/m

FLIGHT, gk = 7.78 + 1.60 = 9.38 kN/m

LANDING C, gk = 4.72 + 1.30 = 6.02 kN/m

n = 1.4 x 9.38 + 1.6 x 4.0 = 19.53 kN/m

n = 1.4 x 6.02 + 1.6 x 4.0 = 14.83 kN/m

Zero shear is at 0.6 + (47.08 - 16.80) /19.53 = 2.151 m from left

M = 47.08 x 2.151 - 16.80 x 2.151 - 19.53 x 1.551/2 = 41.64 kNm/m
