For analyzing a bridge, bending moment diagrams wereplotted for a simply supported beam of span 5 m when subjected to auniformly distributed load of magnitude ‘w’ kN/m over the entirespan. It was noted that maximum bending moment is equal to 37.5kNm. Suggest a value for ‘w’ based on the requirements. How it willchange the reactions at the supports? What happens to the shearforce and bending moment values at the supports and at the center?By plotting bending moment and shear force diagrams for the beambriefly conclude the relationship between the
values for shear force and bending moment.
