P10.046 (Multistep)

The cantilever beam consists of a W530 × 92 structural steel wide-flange shape [E = 200 GPa; I = 552 × 106
mm4]. Assume LAB = 1.3 m and LBC = 3.0 m. For a loading of w = 60 kN/m, determine:
(a) the beam deflection at point A.
(b) the beam deflection at point B.

Solution

(a) Beam deflection at point A

Consider an upward 60 kN/m uniformly distributed load acting over entire 4.3-m span. [Appendix C,
Cantilever beam with uniformly distributed load.]

Relevant equation from Appendix C:

Values:

w = −60 kN/m, L = 4.3 m, EI = 1.104 × 105 kN-m2

Computation:

Consider a downward 60 kN/m uniformly distributed load acting over span BC. [Appendix C, Cantilever
beam with uniformly distributed load.]
