    Beam Moment
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the calculation of the beam moment solution, specifically questioning the inclusion of only one P/2 force in the initial solution. Participants express confusion about the correct formulation of the equation for EIy, with one suggesting an alternative equation. There is a debate about the definition of moment being used, with references to the algebraic sum of moments on one side of the section. The conversation indicates a lack of clarity on how the moment definitions relate to the problem at hand. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities involved in understanding beam moment calculations in structural analysis.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I think it should be EIy" = 0.5Px -P(x-0.5L) -0.5P(L-x) , am i right?

Moment about point x
That is not a definition. see my reply to another of your questions

i am using the first one (algebraic sum of the moments on ONE SIDE of the section.
