The deflection equation can be found by sup

distance a1 from the left end, with the deflect
left end. Using the deflection equation for th
gives

Equations Used for These Calculations

The deflection equation can be found by superposing the deflection

for the single distributed load case (Tab "Single Dist Load):

y(x) = yo(x, a1, w1, w12) - yo(x, a1 + a2, w2, w12)

+ yo(x,a1 + a2 + a3, w3, w34) - yo(x, a1 + a2 + a3 + a

 General Loading Case

If you encounter a loading case that is not covered by one of the worksheets in this workbook,
then you can still easily analyze the beam by using superposition. Let's illustrate the procedure
considering a loading consisting of three loads, say Load 1, Load2, and Load3. Here are the step

Step 1. Use the worksheet provided in the present workbook to analyze the beam for Lo

Step 2. Copy the table of results from the worksheet and paste the table into a blank wo
Remember to use "Paste Special/Values". You will then have something like the followi

0 0 0 0 -2.083333
1 0.1 -5 -0.5 -2.052084
2 0.2 -5 -1 -2.020842

Step 3. Repeat the procedure for Load2 and Load3. Your worksheet will now have three

1 0.1 2 0.2 0.820834
2 0.2 2 0.4 0.808337

Step 4. Use the usual Excel commands, for example the Sum() function, to create a four
consisting of the sum of the entries in the three tables of results. By the principle of supe
the fourth table is the solution to the beam when all three loadings act simultaneously. O
 you can use Excel's plotting and formatting capabilities to put the results in the form bes
for your needs.

Warning: You cannot find the maximum moment (or deflection or shear) for the combine
case simply by adding the maximum moments for the individual load cases, because the
maximum values may not occur at the same location. Instead, you find the maximum fo
combined load case by examining the list of moments for the combined load and finding
largest one.
