University Structural Analysis: Beam Calculations and Design Solutions

This assignment provides detailed solutions for various beam analysis problems, covering symmetrically loaded beams, simply supported beams, lintel beams, and cantilever beams. The solutions include calculations for reactions, shear force diagrams, bending moment diagrams, and stress calculations. The assignment also involves the selection of appropriate beam sections based on second moment of area and radius of gyration. The calculations are performed using the area method for shear force and bending moment diagrams, and the solutions demonstrate the application of statics and mechanics of materials principles to determine the behavior of beams under different loading conditions. The assignment aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of beam analysis and design, and the ability to apply these concepts to solve practical engineering problems.
