M10.6: One Simple Beam, One Load, Three Cases
Concept Checkpoints
Determine beam deflections at various points in a simply supported beam with two overhangs. All deflections can be determined with superposition of no more than three basic deflection cases. Numeric values rather than symbolic variables.

Example
Use simple and cantilever beam equations to determine deflection in the middle of the simple span.
