STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS
END REACTIONS
Directions:
Solve for the end reactions for each of the given problems. Show a loading diagram for each problem and
label all dimensions and forces. There will be one problem per page. Include all formulas and
computations and label all components. Find one of the reactions using the sum of the moments and the
other reaction using the sum of the vertical forces.
All work will be on engineering paper with the proper headings filled in for each page. Include this
assignment sheet along with your calculations on engineering paper for evaluation.
