Investigate the effect of the superposition of a uniformly distributed load and either one or two point loads. Use the sliders to change the magnitude as well as the position of the point loads Pd1and Pd2 and see the implications on the V- and M-diagram. What are the maximum values for V and M and where do they occur?
Note that both the trial funicular polygon and the funicular line can be used to construct the M-diagram. The horizontal pole distance can be chosen.
