Cantilever Design
• Design a cantilever beam of span 4m using 275 grade steel. The beam is carrying a Dead load of 10kN/m and an imposed load of 15kN/m. Calculate the bending moment, Deflection and shear force.
• Design the same beam using Reinforced concrete. Calculate the bending shear and deflections.
• Evaluate the types of connection that will be required for the cantilever beam.
• Discuss the relationship between bending, shear and deflection.
• Critically evaluate steel and reinforced concrete and their structural efficiency in managing bending, shear and deflection.
