Shear Force and BendingMoment Diagrams in
Statically DeterminateStatically DeterminateBeams
Objectives To understand the structural behaviour of beams. To determine the effects of external loads such as axial
loads, shear force and bending moment at any section of the beam.the beam.
To derive the differential relationships between the load intensity shear force and bending moment.
To draw shear force and bending moment diagram for statically determinate beams.
Classification of statically determinate beams
Cantilever beams
Simply supported beams Simply supported beams
Overhanging beams.
Types of applied loads on the beams
Concentrated loads
Uniformly distributed loads Uniformly distributed loads
Uniformly varying loads
Externally applied moments.
Definitions Shear force: The resultant vertical force either to the right
or to the left of the section is known as shear force. Bending moment: The algebric sum of the moments of
all forces either to the left or the right at a section in a beam is known as bending moment.is known as bending moment.
Shear force diagram: A diagram in which ordinate represents shear force and abscissa represents the position of the section is called shear force diagram.
Bending moment diagram: A diagram in which ordinate represents bending moment and abscissa represents the position of the section is called bending moment diagram.
