Trapezoidal Load Analysis on Beams

This document describes a complex loading scenario on a beam A-B and provides the following information: 1) A two-way spanning floor slab applies a trapezoidal load to the beam A-B, with a maximum intensity of 12 kN/m at the center and reducing to 5 kN/m at the ends. 2) The equivalent point load of the triangular loading region is calculated to be 18 kN. 3) The shear forces and bending moments on beam A-B are derived as functions of the distance x along the beam. 4) Values of shear force Sx and bending moment Mx are tabulated for different distances x along the beam.

Considering the forces acting on the part of the beam over the distance x, then SHEAR
FORCE (Sx) & BENDING MOMENT (Mx) expressions can be derived :-

Sx

= 27 5x x2

Mx

= 27x (5x . x/2) (x2 . x/3)

or

Mx = 27x 2.5x2 0.333x3

Recall Sx and Mx expressions . . . both are functions of distance
