In this example problem we'll explore the use of load combinations to determine the maximum bending moment and shear force that would be considered in the evaluation or design of a beam. the LRFD load combinations from the ASCE 7 standard will be applied to a simply supported beam under two different load cases.
ASCE 7-16, ASCE 7-22
ASCE/SEI 7-16, ASSCE/SEI 7-22
