It depends on the loading conditions of the beam, it will generally occur close to the middle of the span.

What is propped simply supported beam?

A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A propped cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation) and simply supported ( no translation) at the other end. A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends. A propped simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends and simply supported at some other point such as at the center, to reduce deflection under load. Propped beams are statically indeterminate.


Where do stresses occur in a loaded beam?

Stress occur everywhere in the beam. Maximum occur at mid span and at support of simply supported beams and cantilever beams respectively - M. Velsamy, Mobile 9884585625


How do you calculate reactions for a simply supported beam loaded with a uniformly distributed load?

For finding reactions for simply supported beam with uniformly distributed load, first we have to convert the u.d.l into a single point load. And then we have to consider it to be a simply supported beam with a point load and solve it. I think you know how to calculate the reactions for beam with point load.


What is the advantage and disadvantages of fixed beams?

There isn't really an advantage of having a fixed beam vs. a simply supported beam, it depends on what application the beam is for. If one of the design criteria of the beam is that it be able to deflect from one end to another then you are going to want to use a fixed beam. For example such applications could include a diving bored. A simply supported beam differs from a fixed beam because the beam is supported at both ends. Thus when a simply supported beam is loaded, the deflection will occur throughout the beam, since the ends are confined and will remain as they were. Furthermore on a fixed beam, (the end that is fixed) will have restrictive forces and moments keeping the end from moving.


what is the deflection of a simple supported beam with point load?

Deflection of simply supported beam is given by P*l^3/(48E) Where P= point load at centre of beam l= length of beam E= Modules of elasticity

What is a hinged beam?

It is a beam that is attached at aboundary that is free to rotate, like a hinge. It cannot develop a bending moment. It is often used to idealize a simply supported beam


Explain Why curtailment of main steel is possible close to ends of a simply supported element?

Reinforcements is provided to resist moment and shear force, in a simply supported beam maximum moment at centre and its reduces towards (zero)support. so no 100% reinforcments at support required, so curtailment is possible (max 50%) at ends.


What is a simply supported slab?

The slabs that are supported only at end are called simply supported slabs i.e. there is no intermediate supports in the slab and there will be no support moment acting on the slab.


What is formula for maximum load due to bending of a simply supported beam?

The strength, S, of the beam is Mc/I where M = max moment to fail = PL/4 for load concentrated in the middle of the beam or WL/8 for uniformly distributed load. Here P is the concentrated load, W = distributed load, c = distance to outer fiber from neutral axis and I the area moment of inertia of the beam. L = length Solving for load maximum, P = 4IS/Lc for concentrated center load W = 8IS/Lc for distributed load


How do you calculate the maximum bending moment for a simply supported beam of 6m long carrying uniformly distributed load only till 4.5 m long?

I assume this is a cantilever beam with one end fixed and the other free, the load starts at the free end and continues for 4.5 m if w is the load distribution then it has a force at centroid of 4.5 w acting at distance of (6.5 - 4.5/2 )from the end, or 4.25 m The max moment is 4.5 w x 4.25 = 19.125


Is theory of simple bending applicable to simply supported beam?

Yes, as long as your beam is relatively slender (i.e. L/d greater than about 2)


How do you work out the max bending moment for an i cross sectional beam supported at either side with a central force of 20kN?

It actually depends on the type of beam it is. If it is a cantilever, the formula would be PL/2 and for a simply supported beam it would be PL/4

Sand Bending is a variation of Earth Bending, as sand is simply "little chunks of earth".
