Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The uniform load acts on the beam (w) is 1.2 kips/ft

Calculation:

Refer Figure 3.

Determine the maximum positive value of the reaction RB.

(RB)max(+)=ARB(+)(w)=[12(120)(1.5)](1.2)=10.8kips

Therefore, the maximum positive value of the reaction RB is 10.8kips_.

Determine the maximum negative value of the reaction RB.

(RB)max()=ARA()(w)=[0](1.2)=0

Therefore, the maximum negative value of the reaction RB is 0_.

Refer Figure 4.

Determine the maximum positive value of the reaction RD.

(RD)max(+)=ARD(+)(w)=[12(244)(1.5)](1.2)=18kips

Therefore, the maximum positive value of the reaction RD is 18kips_.

Determine the maximum negative value of the reaction RD.

(RD)max()=ARD()(w)=[12(40)(34)+12(2824)(12)](1.2)=3kips

Therefore, the maximum negative value of the reaction RD is 3kips_.

Refer Figure 5.

Determine the maximum positive value of the reaction RF.

(RF)max(+)=ARF(+)(w)=[12(40)(0.25)+12(2816)(1.5)](1.2)=11.4kips

Therefore, the maximum positive value of the reaction (RF)max(+) is 11.4kips_.

Determine the maximum negative value of the reaction MA.

(RF)max()=ARF()(w)=[12(164)(0.5)](1.2)=3.6kips

Therefore, the maximum negative value of the reaction (RF)max() is 3.6kips_.
