Let us consider the cantilevered balcony beam of Example 4.3 again and solve it using a single beam element. Recall that the beam is a wide-flange W1S X 35, with a crosssectional area of 10.3 in2 and a depth of 17.7 in. The second moment of area is 510 in 4. The beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 1000 lb/ft. The modulus of 208 Chapter 4 Axial Members, Beams, and Frames elasticity of the beam E = 29 X 1061b/in2. We are interested in determining the deflection of the beam at the midpoint B and the endpoint C. Also, we will compute the maximum slope that will occur at point C. 1000 lb/ft 10 ft TABLE 4.2 Equivalent nodal loading of beams Londing Equivalent Nodal Loading M-PL
