INTRODUCTION
An influence line for a given function, such as a reaction, axial force, shear force, or bending
moment, is a graph that shows the variation of that function at any given point on a structure due to
the application of a unit load at any point on the structure. An influence line for a function differs
from a shear, axial, or bending moment diagram. Influence lines can be generated by independently
applying a unit load at several points on a structure and determining the value of the function due to
this load, i.e. shear, axial, and moment at the desired location. The calculated values for each
function are then plotted where the load was applied and then connected together to generate the
influence line for the function.

THEORY
Defination: An influence line is a plot of the magnitude of the resulting reaction/axial
force/shear/moment generated in a beam or structure as a unit load travels across its length. Influence
lines can be generated for any of these actions (reactions, axial forces, shears, or moments) in a
structure. Influence lines are used to determine where to place moving loads on a structure to obtain
maximum results (reactions, shears, moments, axial forces), and to compute these reactions or other
actions (shears/moments/axial forces) once the loads are placed in critical positions.
Part 1: This Experiment examines how shear force varies at a cut section as a unit load moves from
one end to another (see Figure 1). From the diagram, shear force influence line equation can be
writen.
RA = load (a-x) + (digital force x 0.125)
(before cut)

RA = (digital force x 0.125)

Part 2: If the beam are loaded as shown in Figure 2, the shear force at the cut can be calculated
using the influence line. (See Figure 2).
Shear force at cut section = F1y1 + F2y2 + F3y3

x1, x2,

Notes:
1. Shear force at cut section is the same value given by Digital force reading. Add ve sign to the
value for positions 320mm to 380mm.
2. Experimental Influence line values =

3. Calculate the theoretical value using the equation 1 for load position 40 to 260 mm and equation 2
for load position 320mm to 380mm.

DISCUSSION
The graph shows, this experimental results are sometimes different from theoretical results
are due to human error and instrument sensitivity as the reading of the instrument keep changing
when we conducted the experiment. From the result that we get, there are some errors that make our
result not accurate and contribute the error between the experiment and theory:
i.
Digital indicator is not too accurate. Although the value of experiment quite near with the
value of theory a there arestill have error. The digital indicator is not too accurate.
ii.
The digital indicator is too sensitive. When we taking the reading, the screen show that the
reading not in static. That mean the digital indicator is too sensitive with the wind and the
surrounding movement.
iii.
The load hanger is shaking. When we taking the reading, we put the load to the hanger.
When the load is putting to the hanger, the hanger is shaking and the reading of digital
indicator is change. So it affects the reading.
iv.
Parallax error. Reading the ruler scale. The ruler scale is in centimetre (cm). So, when the
reading process, we cantget the accurate value, because the scale are not suitable for our eye
to read with accurately
v.
The beam is sensitive when we do the experiment, the beam is moving when we try to put the
load.When we want to change the holder of hanger to right side, the beam is not inthe
original position yet.

CONCLUSION
While doing this experiment, we get the value of the theoretical is almost the same value
from the experiment value. Hence, the objective of this experiment is proven. So, we know that our
experiment was archived the objective. After the experiment, we have learned how to determine the
shear force influence line when the beam is subjected to a load moving from left to right. We also
learn how to plot the shear force influence line when the beam is subjected to a point load moving
from left to right.
