SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating reaction forces and drawing shear force and bending moment diagrams for a structural analysis problem. The user determined the vertical reaction force (Ry) to be 220 kN and concluded that the horizontal reaction force (Rx) is zero due to the absence of horizontal forces. However, the user expressed confusion regarding the bending moment graph not reaching zero and sought clarification on the relevance of steel density and the number of reaction components at the encastre support.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of structural analysis principles
  • Familiarity with shear force and bending moment diagrams
  • Knowledge of reaction forces in static equilibrium
  • Basic concepts of material properties, including steel density
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of static equilibrium 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.
