Problem15
For the beam shown below, use the
muller-breslau principle for the influence
lines to answer the following:
INFLUENCE LINES
- Influence line is the graphical representation of the
response function of the structure as the downward
unit load moves across the structure. The ordinate of
the influence line show the magnitude and character of
the function.
Uses of Influence line:
-determine the position of the load to cause maximum
value to the function
- calculate the maximum value of the function.

*The beam shown subjected to a uniform
load and a moving concentrated load and
design data are:

*17.*A 3- axle vehicle has a front axle load
of 10k, a drive axle of 28k and a rear
(trailer) axle of 30k, as shown below. The
maximum bending moment (k-ft) produced
by this truck on a 70-ft, simple span is most
nearly : Three or more moving loads
a) 750 In general, the bending moment under a
b) 840 particular load is a maximum when the center of
