Description
Are you struggling to understand how beams carry loads? Do you want to master beam reaction calculations and explore graphical methods of statics with clarity?

This course is designed forEngineering students,civil/structural learners, andworking professionalswho want to develop a solid understanding of beam reactions and graphic statics.

Through clear explanations, practical examples, and animated visuals, this course will help you:

Analyze simply supported beams under point loads, UDLs, and UVLsMaster graphical techniques likefunicular polygonsandforce polygonsDevelop the ability tocross-check analytical resultsusing graphic methodsLay the foundation forstructural analysis and design

Analytical Calculation of Beam Reactions

Beam with a single point load

Beam with multiple point loads

Beam with UDL and UVL

Combined loading cases

It is very important to understand the types of loading & F.B.D. and calculate the beam reactions or support reactions for the same.

Types of loading: Point load, UDL, UVL & combination of loading
