2.Supports and reactions of the plane point and plate. Beam, supports and load actions. Calculation of support reactions – application of equilibrium conditions. Internal forces diagrams (normal and shear forces, bending moments) of the plane beam.
3.Differential equilibrium conditions, solution of basic types of beams – simply supported beams and cantilevers, straight beams with overhangs
4.Decomposition of slant connected load action. Support reactions and internal forces diagrams of the slant beam.
5.Supports reactions and internal forces diagrams of the beams with broken and curved axis.
6.Static of plane systems composites from points and rigid plate and, static and kinematical definiteness, exceptional state of the support. Solution of the reactions at supports.
