Loading continuous beam with 2 unequal spans

Loading continuous beam with 2 unequal spans

Loading continuous beam with 2 unequal spans

(OP)
Apologies if I'm asking such a stupid question but can anyone here tell me the formula to calculate the loading on 3 supports of a beam when there is unequal spacing between them and the beam has a single offset point load?


The point load is 1020kg offset 950mm from the left.

Support 1 is at the edge of the beam with support 2 offset 1760mm and support 3 offset (1760+1100mm)

Thanks

This is solveable by hand in five minutes usin6 statics, FEM's, and moment distribution - 2 minutes with Beam pro.
