Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. A fixed end beam is subjected to a load, W at 1/ 3rd span from the left support as shown in the figure. The collapse load of the beam is
    1. 16.5 Mp /L
    2. 15.5 Mp /L
    3. 15.0 Mp /L
    4. 16.0 Mp /L
Correct Option: C

Plastic hinges = 3

α =
θ
2

⇒ θ = 2α
θ =
L/3

⇒ ∆ = θ
L
3

= 2α
L
3

2MPθ + 2MPθ + 2MPα + MPα = W∆
