Looking to obtain the reaction for 3-5 span continuous beam.

Does anyone have an existing Mathcad 15 file that I can reference? Thanks.

More info please.

I understand "continuous beam."  Not quite clear on "3-5 span."

Sorry for the confusion. I meant a minimum of 3 continuous spans to a maximum of 5 continuous spans.

The beam is of constant cross section (E and I are constant)

Thanks.

There was a posting by Lester Wadsworth (in 2000) that looks like it might be a good start; but searching on this site only finds the message trail--any attached files are gone.  Others in this forum have demonstrated the ability to find these.

Maybe one of those gentlemen. . .
