AI Thread Summary
The user is seeking confirmation of their calculations for a reaction force and shear force diagram from a textbook problem. They calculated the vertical reaction force (Ry) as 220 kN and noted that there is no horizontal force (Rx = 0). However, they are confused because their bending moment graph does not reach zero. Other users suggest checking the moments about the support and request the moment diagram for further analysis. The discussion highlights the need for clarity in problem statements and the importance of verifying calculations in structural analysis.

Hi guys I am doing this question out of a book, the answer is not given so I am trying to find out if my answer is correct or not. Please find the attached image which shows the question.

1) For the reaction in Question (a) I found the reaction (Ry) to be 220 kN. Rx = 0 because there is no horizontal force.
2) the shear force diagram I drew looks like the graph in the second image but my bending moment graph does not come to zero ?

Please can anyone help me with this problem ?

ah whoever gave me a warning saying misplaced school-type question could've asked me first. I am doing this for my revision its out of a book I picked up from the library. Seriously next time ask first.
 
What is the relevance of the steel density given? The question doesn't seem to match the figure. Can you ellaborate? How many reaction components are there at the encastre support, including ones of zero value? You can check your reactions by making sure that taking moments about the right hand end should be zero. Give us your moment diagram please.
