Moment area diagram indeterminate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating moments in an indeterminate structure, specifically addressing a question divided into three parts. The moment due to a uniformly distributed load (UDL) is calculated as 16 kN, using the formula M = 2x4x2. For a 5 kN load extending over 6 m, the moment is determined to be 30, leading to further calculations that yield a By value of 19.49. This result contrasts with the answer sheet's specified value of 11.125, indicating a discrepancy between the calculations and the provided diagram. The conversation highlights the complexities involved in analyzing moment areas in indeterminate structures.

Part B the indeterminate question.

Divided the question into 3 Parts
Moment due to UDL

M = 2x4x2 = 16 Kn

EItab = Marea . Xa = 0
16 x 4 x 1/3 x( 1/4 x 4) ( parabola)

Due to 5kn Load

Split it up to on rectangular and on triangular load as the 5kn load goes to 6 m and analysing for 4 m to b.

M = 5 x 6 = 30
30 = 6
x = 4 therefore x = 20

=4x20x2 + 4 x 10 x 1/2 x ( 1/3 x 4)
=


Due to redundant reaction By
M = By x 4 = 4by


= - by4 x 4 x 1/2 x (1/3 x 4)


This gives a By of 19.49 instead of 11.125 specified in the answer sheet if added together as deflection = 0
