How to Calculate Reactions of a Simply Supported Beam with a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)

A short tutorial with a numerical worked example to show how to determine the reactions at supports of a simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load (also known as UDL).

youve helped me more than you can ever know, and for that i am truly grateful

I am taking a structural engineering class and I haven't touched the material in 3 years. Your video was very informative and simple to follow. Thank you so much!!!

Takes me back over 40 years, to my first Theory of Structures lecture at University. I wish we had YouTube then

Perfect to the point with great example to easily get reminded of old school concept. Thanks for your time!

Sir, , you are really great teacher,
Your every video can Learn to from beginning, , greatfull.

Well understood, Ra could also be found by equating sum of upward forces to be equal to the sum of downward forces.after finding Rb

Thanks good video! Easy to understand and straight to the point! :)

this vid was 1 years ago..
before, i dont really understand this even i learn more than 1 month. or +- 32hours.
but your vid make me understand about this just teen minuts..
oh my god... is this coincident ?,
thanks man...., ,

I appreciate you trying to suppress the pen sound. It was quite distracting and made some of the previous videos, however good, rather difficult to watch.
Keep up the good work!

Sir if it is simply supported beam then why there are hinge and roller supports??

[choudharyraman]

Thanks you so much I am confused in this topic

[SatansBaby]

WOW! Great explanation! Thank you!
What would be the thickness of the beam in this problem?

[rajacharya]

derive the maximum bending moment and shear force how come it suppose(wl2/8)

[stefaniebabiolakis]

So if the beams are symmetrical about that point in the middle, are their forces always equal?

[cheyvoleak]

i still confus on the anti clock wise the RC should be Negative right teacher ?or negative only require when the Load that put on the beam unbalanced?

[asandankosingiphile]

Could you kindly share the Shear force and bending moment diagrams

[tomtien]

What if you add concentrated moment at C?

[barrybandit]

How would you do the same for a tube/hollow beam?

[rajacharya]

then sir plesse make this video maximum bending moment of udl load supperted at ssb

[rameshalle]

Why line of action of load acting at centroid of UDL?
