1 (a) Draw the influence line diagram for bending moment at any given section of a simply supported beam.
4 M
1 (b) Show that for maximum bending moment at any section of simply supported girder traversed by a moving uniformly distributed load shorter than the girder span, the section should divide the uniformly distributed load in the same ratio as it divides the girder span.
