Question: A two-span beam is subjected to a moment, as shown in the Figure. Find the resulting displacement, shear force, and bending moments. Compute shear and bending stresses at the middle support in the beam. Use the following numerical data (1 k =1000 lb).
L = 180 in; E = 29,000 k/in2; M = 1000 k.in
Beam cross section: Standard l-shape (W16 x 26) with =301 in4 and dimensions as shown in the figure
