    This experiment aims to determine the support reactions and central moment of a continuous beam using an apparatus with three support brackets and spring balances. The procedure involves setting the brackets at specific positions, placing stirrups with spring balances on the beam, applying two point loads, adjusting the balances to level the beam, and recording the initial and final readings. The results show the initial, final, and actual readings over three trials. Calculations are made to find the average initial, final, and actual readings at each support.

    EXPERIMENT 2

    (SUPPORT REACTIONS AND CENTRAL MOMENT OF A CONTINUOUS BEAM )


    -using continuous beam apparatus.

    Objective :

    The objective of the experiment is to find the support reactions and central moment
    for a continuous beam given. The data obtained from the experiment will then be
    compared to the values predicted from theory.

    The Apparatus :

    The apparatus needed is as shown in the diagram below. The frame consists of three
    support bracket that can be set at any point along the top beam. Each bracket has a
    spring balance with the fine screw adjusted and a stirrup to hold the beam used in the
    experiment. The position of the brackets is shown by a pointer and scale. Additional
    stirrup are use to hold the load hanger which are attached to the beam to provide point
    loads. A position bracket is used to determine the position of the applied loads.
    1. Spring Balances

    2. Stirrup

    3. Water level.

    4. Dial-gauge
    5. Hanger

    6. Loads

    7. Measuring tape
    Procedure :

    1. Two outer brackets to convenient positions were set up 1000m first, and the
    middle brackets were set up to 400mm too.
    2. The stirrups was placed on the beam and attached to the spring balance hooks.
    3. Next, the load was apply where, w1 = 20N at 200mm and w2 = 40 N at
    700mm. Position bracket was used to set the loads at the correct point on the
    beam.
    4. The loads were removed and stirrup still in position it.
    5. Then, level beam was set by sighting along the top surface next to each stirrup.
    The spring was adjusted until getting the same reading is observed on the
    scales.
    6. The initial reading of each spring balance was taken and note each value.
    7. The loads were applied again to the beam. Then, make sure the position of the
    stirrups is using the position bracket.
    8. The beam level was set up used screw adjusters on top of the spring balances.
    The beam level could be same height throughout the span, as shown on the
    scale.
    9. Lastly, the value of spring balance was reading and the observation and results
    was recorded.
    10. The reading was be taken three times and the procedure was repeated.
    Result :

    Result as shown below :
