SAT/ACT, Civil Engineering, Math, and Physics made simple!
Boundary conditions are what's going on in the beam at the ends... if it is a SSB, then the moments are 0 at both ends, ... whereever the beam is supported (at both ends if SSB, at the wall end if cantilevered, etc. ) the deflections are 0 at those points. if the beam is cantilevered, or supported midway somewhere, then there is no internal shear past the last load force to the unsupported end. Etc.
