The beam supports a single live load of 1,500 lb, a uniform live load of 600 lb/ft, a uniform dead load of 150 lb/ft. Determine the maximum positive moment that can be developed at point B. Assume the support at A is a pin and C is a roller. The influence lines for VB and MB are shown, along with the peak values of the influence lines.
