Shear-Force and Bending-Moment Diagrams
When solving the problems for Section 4.5, draw the shear-force and
bending-moment diagrams approximately to scale and label all critical
ordinates, including the maximum and minimum values.
Probs. 4.5-1 through 4.5-10 are symbolic problems and Probs. 4.5-11
through 4.5-24 are numerical problems. The remaining problems (4.5-25
through 4.5-30) involve specialized topics, such as optimization, beams
with hinges, and moving loads.
Problem 4.5-1 Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for

Problem 4.5-25 A beam of length L is being designed to support a uniform load
of intensity q (see figure). If the supports of the beam are placed at the ends,
creating a simple beam, the maximum bending moment in the beam is qL2/8.
However, if the supports of the beam are moved symmetrically toward the middle
of the beam (as pictured), the maximum bending moment is reduced.
Determine the distance a between the supports so that the maximum bending
moment in the beam has the smallest possible numerical value.

284 CHAPTER 4 Shear Forces and Bending Moments
Problem 4.5-30 A simple beam AB supports two connected wheel loads P
and 2P that are distance d apart (see figure). The wheels may be placed at
any distance x from the left-hand support of the beam.
(a) Determine the distance x that will produce the maximum shear force
in the beam, and also determine the maximum shear force Vmax
.
(b) Determine the distance x that will produce the maximum bending
moment in the beam, and also draw the corresponding bending-
moment diagram. (Assume P 5 10 kN, d 5 2.4 m, and L 5 12 m.)
Solution 4.5-30 Moving loads on a beam
(a) Maximum shear force
By inspection, the maximum shear force occurs at
support B when the larger load is placed close to, but
not directly over, that support.
(b) Maximum bending moment
By inspection, the maximum bending moment occurs
at point D, under the larger load 2P.
