For the beam shown in Figure I:
1- Compute the reactions at points B and D (advice: double/triple check them!). (7 points)
2- Using the method of integration (or areas), draw the shear force and bending moment
diagrams (use the space provided below for the diagrams and draw to scale as much as you
can). Show the important and necessary features and values on the diagrams. (28 points)

Figure 1
The fixed-end cantilever beams shown in Figure II are loaded with different types of
concentrated or distributed loads; however the total equiyalent vertical load in each of the
cases (a) to (f) have the same fotal intensity P. Also, all distributed loads are symmetrical
about the midpoint.
NOTE: No “real” calculations are needed and the information above is
sufficient to solve the problem, so please do not ask for any information or
clarifications, otherwise you will be asking for the answers.
1- Compare the vertical and moment reactions (in absolute values) at the fixed ends for the six
cases from largest to smallest. (8 points)

3. You are the teacher now: Suggest two cases of loading below that follow the same pattern
as above, and explain how they compare with questions 1 and 2 (i.e. choose and draw cases
which will have the same total equivalent vertical load, and compare reactions at fixed end
and internal actions in the m}dpoint with the earlier cases. (7 points) i
Briefly explain your choices and how they compare with earlier cases: (few lines only)
