    Statics Problem with 3 supports but only 2 Unknowns (because 2 reactions are known to be equal)

    The structure is symmetrical and the beam is continuous. (it actually represents a shaft freely rotating inside 3 plates, which are the 3 "supports") The black dot at B is just there to show that I'm approximating B as a pinned support (just as a formality so that the system isn't technically...

    Statics Problem with 3 supports but only 2 Unknowns (because 2 reactions are known to be equal)

    (See image) P = Q (They are the applied loads) Unknowns are the reactions A, B, and C. A and C are known to be equal however, so there are really only 2 unknowns. A, B, and C are known to all be pointing downward. At first glance this looks like a pretty easy/standard statics problem. But...

(Specifically, we use it with the AISC Spec, mainly the 2016 and 1989 Editions) I've noticed that it does not seem to be very widely used; searching Google...
