1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description of the project
This program is to analyse the statically determinate beam. In this project, we
are using three cases of statically determinate beam which is;
Case 1: Cantilever beam with one point load

Case 2: Cantilever beam with uniform load

Case 3: Simply supported beam with one point load

The procedure of the project:

1. Determine whether the beam is statically determinate or statically indeterminate.
r = n+3
r=3

(statically determinate)

r = support reaction
n = hinge
2. Calculate the support reactions.
3. Calculate the maximum bending moment.
4. Calculate the maximum deflection
5. Calculate the end slope

2.0 Description of the program

This program is made to calculate the reaction, maximum bending moment, maximum
deflection and end slope of statically determinate beam.

Figure 1: Shows the comment of the program

All the variables need to be declared. In this program we are using several variables which is:
r = support reaction
n = hinge
F = force
L = length of the beam
x = the length from force to Ra
y = the length from force to Rb
w = uniform load distribution
E = modulus elasticity
I = second moment inertia
reaction = shear force
end_slope = end slope
maximum_deflection = maximum deflection
maximum_bending_moment = maximum bending moment

10

Figure 2: Shows the declaration of variables

First, user is ask to enter the value of r and n. This value will determine whether the
beam is statically determinate or statically indeterminate. If the output shows that the beam is
statically indeterminate, the program will end. In contrast, if the program shows statically
determinate, the program will proceed to the next stage.

Figure 3: ask user to insert the value

Next, user is ask to choose which beam they want to calculate. The choice is;
Case 1: Cantilever beam with one point load
Case 2: Cantilever beam with uniform load distribution
Case 3: Simply supported beam with one point load
User will enter which cases they want which is case 1, case 2 or case 3.

11

Figure 4: ask to choose the cases

If the user choose the case 1, then it is cantilever beam with one point load. In this case,
user can find reaction, maximum bending moment, end slope and maximum deflection. The
user only need to enter the value ask such as load per unit length, the length of the beam, the
modulus elasticity, and the second moment inertia.

Figure 5: user need to enter the value asked

Figure 6: The outcome of the case

If the user choose the case 2, then it is cantilever beam with uniform load distribution. In
this case, user can find reaction, maximum bending moment, end slope and maximum
deflection. The user only need to enter the value ask such as load per unit length, the length
of the beam, the modulus elasticity, and the second moment inertia.

12

Figure 7: user need to enter the value asked

Figure 8: The outcome of the case

If the user choose the case 3, then it is simply supported beam with one point load. In this
case, user can find reaction and maximum bending moment. The user only need to enter the
value ask such as force, the length of the beam, length from force to Ra and length from force
to Rb.

3.0 Conclusion
15

A programming language is an artificial language, a vocabulary and set of

grammatical rules strictly constructed in order to instruct computers to perform specific tasks,
such as creating programs that control behaviours of machines (most likely computers), and
also ensuring their ability to express complex algorithms correctly. It is also used to develop
different kinds of applications and write scripts. It is required because the statements written
by us as programmers (source language) should be translated into another language that the
computer could understand, since computers are binary machines that only recognize zeros
and ones. That is why a programming language is also a mechanism abstraction. It allows the
programmer to specify commands in abstract ways and let the programs implement the
specification in a detailed structure needed for execution on the computer. This process is
done by programs such as assemblers, compilers, and interpreters.
Using solid coding techniques and good programming practices to create high quality
code plays an important role in software quality and performance. In addition, by consistently
applying a well-defined coding standard and proper coding techniques, and holding routine
code reviews, a team of programmers working on a software project is more likely to yield a
software system that is easier to comprehend and maintain.
