The process is as follows:
Assignment 1 Equilibrium
Assignment 2 Beams – determine the UDL + maximum deformation of the beam at the center / Columns – determine the point loads + compressive stress in the columns / In the assignment, using both graphics and calculations
Assignment 3 Based on simple supported beam subjected to point load, with span = 3L / Calculate and draw the shear and bending moment diagram / Calculate new b1 and h1 according to maximum deflections: L/250 and L/500
