Methods of Determining Beam Deflections
Numerous methods are available for the determination of beam deflections. These methods include:
Double-integration method
Area-moment method
Strain-energy method (Castigliano's Theorem)
Conjugate-beam method
Method of superposition
A simply supported beam of 8 m has two vertical point loads: 10 kN at 2 m from the left support, 10 kN at 6 m from the left support. Using the graphical method, what is the approximate reaction at the left support ?
