A simply supported bridge with a single span of L feet has a deck of uniform cross section with mass m per foot length and flexural rigidity EI. A single wheel load p0 travels across the bridge at a uniform velocity of v. Negelecting damping and assuming the shape function of the form ψ(x) = L2x−x3 , determine an equation for the deflection at midspan as a function of time. L = 200 ft, m = 11 kips/g per foot, I = 700 ft4 , and E = 576,000 kips/ft2 .

A simply supported uniform beam (with length L and flexural rigidity El) carries a moment Mo (clockwise) at a distance -21B away from the left end (x-0). Calculate the deflection () and slope (dv/de) at 21/3 by using the Rayleigh-Ritz Method. Assume a deflection curve of the form v-asin(rx/L), where a is to be determined
SS two BMs midspan deflection The simply supported beam shown below has a span length L = 4.1. Two applied bending moments Mo = 4.6 are applied at either support. Determine the midspan deflection of the beam. Assume El is constant. Show your results to two decimal point and no units. (Hibbeler) M M 2 Answer:

3. A simply supported beam (W18x97) is 50-ft long and is restrained at the supports and at midspan. It carries a uniform dead load of 0.4 kips/ft plus beam weight, and a live load of 1.0 kips/ft. The steel is A992 and the method of analysis is LRFD. Determine if this shape and length is adequate to support this load. Also determine which controls: flexural strength or deflection. The limiting maximum live load deflection is...
A simply supported pretensioned beam has a span of 60 ft. Compute the initial deflection at midspan due to prestress and the beam's own weight. – cgc F ee = 12.62" e = 22.02% I---------- = 12.62" cgs (with two points depressed) 20'-0" - 20'-0" – 20'-0" Given: A = 978 in. f'= 3,750 psi I = 86,075 in.

Problem 7.5 of your textbook (Haldar & Mahadevan): A simply supported beam of span L 360 inches is loaded by a uniformly distributed load w kip/in. and a concentrated kip applied at the midspan. The maximum deflection of the beam at the midspan can be calculated as: mar- 384 EI 48 E A beam with El 63.51 x 106 kip-in.2 Is selected to carry the load. Both w and P are statistically independent RVs with mean values estimated to be...
