Load Distribution Across a Truss or Beam
N226
Learn the basic steps for determining how much of a given point load or distributed load will translate to each of the supporting points on either side of the load. Time allowing, loads on a cantilever will also be covered. By the end of this workshop, an attentive person should be able to: a) calculate the exact force placed on each rigging point by a point load placed between the points, b) calculate the exact force placed on each rigging point by a distributed load placed between the points, c) perform the calculations for complex systems including multiple point loads and distributed loads sharing the same span.
