Practicals
PRACTICAL 1. DEFORMATION IN BEAMS BY SIMPLE BENDING
a) Deformation in bi-supported beams, beams of two materials.
b) Deformation in supported/ built-in beams, beams of two materials.
c) Deformation in built-in beams, beams of two materials.
PRACTICAL 2. DEFORMATION IN DEMAND BEAMS BY DIVERTED BENDING
a) Deformation in a beam built into a ledge
PRACTICAL 3. DEFORMATION IN PLANE PORTICOS
Arrow in the middle of a girder and rotation on the head of a bi-supported portico, situations of point load in the middle of a girder and horizontal point load on the head of the pillar.
