Dears,

I need verification about the methodology to calculate the support reactions under the gravity loadings.
Please correct me, if I don't understand it right,
"The support reactions under 1 g loading will be the weight distributrion of the structure at the supports, and it will be the respective multiple, means x2 or x3 under 2g & 3g loading, respectively."
If I need to calculate the reactions analytically, I will calculate these by applying the wigtht force at the c.g and find out the distribution of this weight at the supports.
Thanks for your comments.
