Which type of beam load is shown and what is the maximum shear force?
The beam is loaded with a uniform load, and the maximum shear force is (100 lbs/ft)(16 ft)/2 = 800 lb.
The beam is loaded with a uniform load, and the maximum shear force is (100 lbs/ft)(16 ft) = 1600 lb.
The beam is loaded with a concentrated load, and the maximum shear force is (1600 lbs/ft)/(8 ft) = 200 lb.
The beam is loaded with a concentrated load, and the maximum shear force is (1/2)(100 lb/ft)(8 ft) = 400 lb.
What is the reaction force at point B of the 20 ft steel beam, represented by the beam diagram, if w1 = 1200 lb/ft?

A low rise commercial building is to be built on a site where the footing will rest on a clayey gravel. Each column will carry a load of 27,000 lb. A table of soil bearing capacities is shown.
Given that each concrete footing is 1’-6” thick, what are the plan dimensions for the most economical square spread footing to safely support each column load (up to the next 1 inch)?
3’-0” x 3’-0”
3’-2” x 3’-2”
3’-8” x 3’-8”
4’-8” x 4’-8”
A column carries a load of 35 kips and is supported on a 2-foot thick spread footing, which rests on silt. Size the smallest round footing (up to the next 3 inches) that can support the load.
3’3"
6'3"
29'3"
58'6"
