The beam supports a uniform live load of 330 lb/ft. Determine the maximum positive shear that can be developed at point B. Assume the support at A is a pin and C is a roller. The influence lines for VB and MB are shown, along with the peak values of the influence lines.

Assuming that the live loads are transmitted to the bottom chords of the truss, draw the influence line for the force in member DH. What is the line’s maximum value? Let L = 12 ft.

A truck exerts wheel reactions P1 = 10 kips and P2 = 4 kips on the deck of a bridge. Determine the maximum positive shear at C. Assume the truck only travels in the direction shown. The influence lines for VC and MC are shown, along with the peak values of the influence lines.
