portion of a highway bridge. The centerline dimensions and
the anticipated loading on the cap or top beam are shown in the
figure. This beam has the cross section shown. The columns
each have a diameter of 400 mm and are fixed-connected to the beam.
Establish a structural model of the pier and justify any
assumptions you have made. Perform a computer analysis to determine
the maximum moment in the beam. As a partial check
of the results, determine this moment using a classical method such
as moment distribution, or use a deflection table. Neglect
the weight of the members and the effect of the steel reinforcement
within the concrete. Take E = 29.0 GPa.
