beam equation needed
Kelly et al:
Do we have an equation / calculation for the following:
Continuous Beam, with multiple Unequal Spans, multiple unequal, non-uniform loads.
I know we have one that is close:
Continuous Beam, with Two unequal Spans, Unequal, Uniform Loads
For the sake of example, let's assume:
a continuous beam, supported at 4 points (not uniformly distributed),
resulting in 3 spans, with each span supporting 3 point loads, not uniformly distributed.
What I am actually looking for is the load on each support.

Dale, see the following:

Be aware that the loading per side is total as opposed to line loading. I don't have an automated script but hey you got a calculator.
Let me know..
Here is the beam Bending calculations menu..

Yea, I saw that one earlier.
But it assumes a uniform load, not point loads x distance from a support.

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.
I'm not sure how to modify this equation:
[URL]https://www.engineersedge.com/beam_bending/beam_bending21.htm[/URL]
to incorporate non-uniform supports [I]and[/I] non-uniform loading.
Supports can be anywhere along the truss, loads can be located anywhere along the truss.
The goal is to find the tension on each support line.
Any ideas?
