PROBLEM 1

A non prismatic simply supported beam has a total span of 10 m. The 5 m

long middle section
of the beam has a moment of inertia twice the moment of inertia of the
section besides the
supports. The beam is loaded as shown. Using Double Integration method,
Area moment
method and Conjugate Beam method and in terms of its constant flexural
rigidity EI,
a. Compute the slope at points A or E and B or D.
b. Determine the deflection10

PROBLEM 2
A non-prismatic propped beam is composed of two 3 m segments with
flexural rigidities as indicated below. It carries a uniform load of 400 KN/m
throughout the span and a concentrated load of magnitude 100 KN at
point B. Using Double Integration method, area moment method and
Conjugate Beam method,
a. Determine the magnitude of the roller support reaction at C.
b. Compute the slope at points B and C.
c. Compute the value of the deflection at point B
d. Determine the reactive forces at point A. (Moment and Shear)
