Figure A shows the High Level Twin Balanced Cantilever Bridge over river Narmada in Mandala, Madhya Pradesh in India. The total span of the bridge is 120 meters, with the following arrangement (from left to right span): 25 meters (span AB), 30 meters (span BC), 40 meters span (CD), and 25 meters (span DE). Assuming that the left end of the bridge is supported with a fixed support and its right end is placed just above the surface of the finished ground of the right terrain, complete the following tasks:
1. Draw the idealized structure as a single beam system, based on the figure and on the given conditions above.

2. Determine the magnitude w after 4 cycles of MDM, if a) the shear stress do not exceed 45 MPa at any point on the bridge; and b) the bending stress at any point on the bridge is not greater than 250 MPa. Assume the values on the table below.

60 in 150 lbf 5 lbf/in 3. The cantilever shown in the figure consists of two structural-steel channels with a weight of 0.833 lbf/in. Both distributed load of 5 lbf/in and a point load of 150 lbf are applied to the beam as shown above. Using Castigliano's theorem find the deflection at A and compare to the deflection calculated using the superposition method. Include weight of the channels.
