Overhang beam deflection and slope at C
Short answer
Virtual work with unit load and unit couple. Real moments M=5x (AB), 10s (BC). Integrate Mm/EI: deflection = 1250/100000 = 0.0125 m (12.5 mm downward); slope = 291.67/100000 = 2.917x10^-3 rad clockwise.
Determine the deflection and slope at C in the overhanging beam shown in figure below by using virtual work (unit load) method. Take . [Figure: beam ABC, A hinge, B roller at 10 m from A, overhang BC 5 m with 10 kN downward at C.]
Given data
Beam ABC: A hinge, B roller at m, overhang m, with kN downward at C. kNm.
A B C
^---------------^-------+ 10 kN
10 m 5 m
Real loading
Hogging moments: in AB ( from A), in BC ( from C). kNm.
Deflection at C: unit vertical load at C
Virtual moments (hogging): in AB, in BC.
Slope at C: unit couple at C
Virtual moments: in AB, in BC (same sense as ).
Answer: deflection at C mm downward; slope at C rad (clockwise). (Check: mm, .)
