Problem 10.4-4 Two flat beams AB and CD , lying in horizontal planes, cross at right angles and jointly support a vertical load P at their midpoints (see figure). Before the load P is applied, the beams just touch each other. Both beams are made of the same material and have the same widths. Also, the ends of both beams are simply supported. The lengths of beams AB and CD are LAB and LCD , respectively. What should be the ratio tAB / tCD of the thicknesses of the beams if all four reactions are to be the same?

Problem 10.4-7 Beam ABC is fixed at support A and rests (at point B ) upon the midpoint of beam DE (see the first part of the figure). Thus, beam ABC may be represented as a propped cantilever beam with an overhang BC and a linearly elastic support of stiffness k at point B (see the second part of the figure). The distance from A to B is L 10 ft, the distance from B to C is L /2 5 ft, and the length of beam DE is L 10 ft. Both beams have the same flexural rigidity EI. A concentrated load P 1700 lb acts at the free end of beam ABC. Determine the reactions RA , RB , and MA for beam ABC. Also, draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for beam ABC , labeling all critical ordinates.

Problem 10.4-13 A beam AC rests on simple supports at points A and C (see figure). A small gap 0.4 in. exists between the unloaded beam and a support at point B , which is midway between the ends of the beam. The beam has total length 2 L 80 in. and flexural rigidity EI 0.4 109 lb-in.^2 Plot a graph of the bending moment MB at the midpoint of the beam as a function of the intensity q of the uniform load. Hints: Begin by determining the intensity q 0 of the load that will just close the gap. Then determine the corresponding bending moment ( MB ) 0. Next, determine the bending moment MB (in terms of q ) for the case where q q 0. Finally, make a statically indeterminate analysis and determine the moment MB (in terms of q ) for the case where q q 0. Plot MB (units of lb-in.) versus q (units of lb/in.) with q varying from 0 to 2500 lb/in.
