Hi All,
I am trying to evaluate the deflection of a simply supported beam (which is subjected to 3 nos. of trapezoidal loads with different start and end ordinates and start and end points on the span of the beam). I tried to formulate the calculation using programming options of the Mathcad. Somehow I ran into a mistake and I could not able to trace the mistake. Can someone please help in finding the mistake.
For a clear picture of the problem, please refer to the attached snapshot.
Also, the value of deflection at the supports of the simply supported beam shall always be zero irrespective of the loading condition but in my case, the deflections at the support locations are very close to zero but not zero (snapshot is attached for the same).
