A cantilever beam 1.5m long carries point loads of 1KN, 2KN, and 3KN at 0.5m, 1.0m, and 1.5m from the fixed end.

CANTILEVER BEAM CARRYING POINT LOADS 

POINTS TO REMEMBER:

• For cantilever beams with point loads, the shear force diagram should be in a box shape.
• For cantilever beams with point loads,  the bending moment diagram should be in straight line law.

EXAMPLE: 

     A cantilever beam 1.5m long carries point loads of 1KN, 2KN, and 3KN at 0.5m, 1.0m, and 1.5m from the fixed end respectively. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam.
