(OP)
In the attached example of the conjugate-beam method from Hibbeler, is the 2k reaction for Cy correct? If the 8k load and 30k-ft moments are removed and accounted for separately when using the superposition method, where is the vertical load coming?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

KootK: You're right, it makes sense that the reaction at C would be upwards.
