1. A simply supported horizontal beam carries a load which varies from 20 kN at one end to 50
kN at the other. Determine the central deflection if the span is 10 m and the width is 420 mm.
The bending stress is limited to 84 MPa. E= 210 GPa.
2. A simply supported beam has a span of 15 m and carries two point loads of 4 kN and 9 kN at 6
m and 10 m respectively from one end. Find the deflection under each load and the maximum
deflection. E= 200 GPa and I= 400 106 mm 4 .
3. An 8 m long simply supported beam carries a uniformly distributed load of 3 kN/m over the
whole span and a concentrated load load of 6 kN at the centre. Determine the central deflection
and the slope at the ends. E =200 GPa and I = 100 10 6 mm4 .
4. A simply supported beam has its supports 8 m apart at A and B. It carries a uniformly distributed
load of 4kN/ m between A and B starting from 2 m and ending at 5 m from A. The end B of
the beam has an overhang of 3 m and at the free end, a concentrated load of 6 kN is applied.
Determine deflection of the free end and the maximum deflection between A and B. Take E =
200GPa and I = 15  106 mm 4 .
5. Find out maximum deflection in beam shown in figure 1.

6. Let us consider a simply supported beam AB ( shown Fig. 2 ) of length 3 m is subjected to a


point load 10 kN , UDL = 5 kN/m and a bending moment M= 25kNm. Find the deflection of
the beam at point D if flexural rigidity (EI) = 50kNm 2 .
