Question: 1. Determine the reactions for the beam in Figure. When the uniform load is applied, the fixed support rotates clockwise 0.003 rad and support B settles 0.3 in. Given: E = 30,000 kips/in.2, I = 240 in.4.
2. (a) Recompute the reactions, draw the shear and moment curves for the beam in Figure if segment AB has 1.5I.
(b) Using RISA-2D, recompute the reactions and generate the shear and moment curves when segment AB has 2EI.
(c) Repeat (b) if segment AB has 2.5EI.
