GROUP 4 (QN 4)

Shear force and bending moment diagrams are crucial for analyzing internal forces in beams under various loads. The shear force diagram (SFD) illustrates the shear force variation along the beam, while the bending moment diagram (BMD) shows the bending moment variation. The relationship between the two indicates that the slope of the BMD corresponds to the shear force, and the rate of change of shear force relates to the distributed load.

• QUESTIONS 4

• shear force and bending moment diagrams are essential tools for analyzing the
internal forces and moments within a beam subjected to various types of
loads. Here’s a brief overview:

• Shear Force Diagram (SFD)


• A shear force diagram (SFD) represents the variation of shear force along the
length of the beam. The shear force at any section of the beam is the algebraic
sum of all vertical forces acting either to the left or right of that section. Key
points to note:

• Positive Shear Force: Causes a clockwise rotation of the beam segment.

• Negative Shear Force: Causes a counterclockwise rotation.

• Shape of SFD: Depends on the type of loading. For example, a point load
causes a sudden jump, while a uniformly distributed load (UDL)
• Bending Moment Diagram (BMD)
• A bending moment diagram (BMD) shows the
variation of bending moment along the beam’s
length. The bending moment at any section is the
algebraic sum of the moments of all forces acting
either to the left or right of that section.
• Positive Bending Moment (Sagging): Causes the
beam to bend concave upwards.
• Negative Bending Moment (Hogging): Causes the
beam to bend concave downwards.
• Shape of BMD: Varies with the type of loading. For
instance, a point load results in a linearly varying
moment, while a UDL produce
• Relationship Between Shear Force and Bending
Moment
• The relationship between shear force and bending
moment is given by:
• The slope of the BMD at any point is equal to the
shear force at that point.
• The rate of change of shear force along the beam is
equal to the distributed load at that point.
