Hi there,
In that case i am making a mistake with my EI calculations - what effect does raising the member have?
the exact layout is:
Fixed End @ A -------B Simply Supported C Simply Supported D ----E @ E is a cantilever
BC to C is raised by 1.2h
Am i not still using 4EI/l at member BC and CB
Ok, so I have a problem as follows:
A beam is simply supported at joints A, B, C D and E.
there is a UDL acting on the BC member
The member is 6m long with a UDL of 60kn/m
However the tricky part is that this member is 1.2 times higher than the height of the members AB, CD, and DE.
So BC =...
