Deflection and slope in a cantilever beam due to point load
Deflection at point (ΔB) =
Slope at point B (θB) =
Deflection at point (ΔC) = ΔB + θB × a
Note: The slope at point B and point C is the same, in the above case beam.
Calculation:
Given
Slope at A due to 10 kN point load (θ1) =
The negative sign shows only the slope is anticlockwise.
Slope at A due to 10 kN point load (θ1) =
Slope at A due to 20 kN point load (θ2) =
Slope at A due to 20 kN point load (θ2) =
Slope at A due to both loads (θA) = θ1 + θ2
Slope at A due to both loads (θA) =
Slope at A due to both loads (θA) =
The slope at point A in a given beam is
