A three-span continuous beam has an internal hinge at $$B.$$ Section $$B$$ is at the mid-span of $$A.C.$$ Section $$E$$ is at the mid-span of $$CG$$. The $$20$$ $$kN$$ load is applied at section $$B$$ whereas $$10$$ $$kN$$ loads are applied at sections $$D$$ and $$F$$ as shown in the figure. Span $$GH$$ is subjected to uniformly distributed load of magnitude $$5$$ $$kN/m$$. For the loading shown, shear force immediate to the right of section $$E$$ is $$9.84$$ $$kN$$ upwards and the sagging moment at section $$E$$ is $$10.31$$ $$kN$$-$$m.$$ GATE CE 2004 Strength of Materials Or Solid Mechanics - Shear Force and Bending Moment Question 8 English
