Problem 823 | Continuous Beam by Three-Moment Equation

Problem 823
A continuous beam simply supported over three 10-ft spans carries a concentrated load of 400 lb at the center of the first span, a concentrated load of 640 lb at the center of the third span and a uniformly distributed load of 80 lb/ft over the middle span. Solve for the moment over the supports and check your answers using the results obtained for Problems 819 and 822.
