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.
 
yes ... if that answers the question ?
