             Q1: A cantilever beam having span ‘L’ m was subjected to auniformly distributed load of magnitude 8 kN/m for a distance of‘0.6 L’ from the free end and two concentrated loads one ofmagnitude 15 kN at a distance ‘0.25 L’ m from the free end whilethe other of magnitude ‘22’ kN at a distance ‘0.6 L’ m from thefree end respectively. It was observed that the maximum bendingmoment acting on the beam is equal to (-369 kNm). Suggest asuitable span for the beam based on the loading condition. How itwill change the reaction at the fixed support? What happens to theshear force and bending moment values at the fixed support, freeend and at the center of the beam? By plotting bending moment andshear force diagram for the beam briefly conclude the relationshipbetween the values for shear force and bending moment.
