The maximum bending moment (kNm) in a simply supported beam of 8 m span subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m (inclusive of its self-weight) over the entire span is
-
- 40
- 160
- 240
- 380
Correct Option: B
The maximum bending moment in a SSB for a UDL is given by
B.M. = wl2/8
B.M. = (20 × 82)/8
B.M. =160 kN-m
