Beam diagrams

Typical V M diagrams without computing

Visualize deflection as a flexible ruler

Draw shear and bending diagrams left to right;starting and ending with zero beyond the beam

Uniform load cause downward sloping shear

Point loads causedownward shear offset

Upward reactions causeupward shear offset Estimate shear area to draw bending diagrams

Shear effect

1 Beam with square mark to study stress

2 Shear stress on square

3 Equivalent split shear stress

4 Shear stress as tension/compression stress

5 Equivalent tension/compression stress

cause diagonal tension cracks at beam supports

Isostatic linescombine bending and shear stress

(compressive arch lines and tensile cable lines)

Shear and bending distr ibut ion

2 Shear diagram

3 Bending diagram

4 Shear stress (over beam depth)

5 Bending stress (over beam depth)

A Best location of possible pipe hole:

Zero shear force at mid-span Zero bending stress at mid-depth

The diagrams reveal an interesting paradox:

Linear shear force over beam length

Parabolic shear stress over beam depth

Parabolic bending moment over beam length

Linear bending stress over beam depth

4 Concrete girder with rebar lengths as required

5 Parabolic girder reflecting bending moment

6 Tapered girder approximates bending moment

Overhang effect

1 Simple beam

2 Beam overhangs reduce bending moment

~1/3 overhangs equalize positive and negative bending

Overhangs can provide synergy with architectural design

Overhangs reduce bending up to~ 600%

Overhang/span ratio

Beams with overhangs are most efficient if positive and

negative bending are equal (optimal cross section use)Find ratios C/L for equal positive and negative bending

1 Beam with uniform load and two overhangs

+M = Abs (-M)

Considering the Area Method

Positive shear must be 2 times negative shear

+V = 2-V

L/2 = 21/2C = 1.414 C L = 2.828 C

2 Beam with uniform load and one overhangX = 21/2C = 1.414 C

L = C+X = 1+1.414 C L = 2.414 C
