ROLLING LOAD AND INFLUENCE LINES
Influence lines offer a quick and easy way of performing multiple analyses for a
single structure. Response parameters such as shear force or bending moment at a point or
reaction at a support for several load sets can be easily computed using influence lines.
For example, we can construct influence lines for (shear force at B ) or (bending
moment at) or (vertical reaction at support D ) and each one will help us calculate the
corresponding response parameter for different sets of loading on the beam AD (Figure 2).
load. From the ordinate of the influence line at C, we can say that when the unit load is at
point C .
2. Draw the influence line diagram for bending moment at any section of a simply
supported beam. (June/July 2015)
The most basic method of obtaining influence line for a specific response parameter is to
solve the static equilibrium equations for various locations of the unit load. The general
procedure for constructing an influence line is described below.
1. Define the positive direction of the response parameter under consideration through
a free body diagram of the whole system.
2..For a particular location of the unit load, solve for the equilibrium of the whole
system and if required, as in the case of an internal force, also for a part of the member to
obtain the response parameter for that location of the unit load.This gives the ordinate of the
influence line at that particular location of the load.
3. Repeat this process for as many locations of the unit load as required to determine
the shape of the influence line for the whole length of the member. It is often helpful if we
can consider a generic location (or several locations) x of the unit load.
4. Joining ordinates for different locations of the unit load throughout the length of the
member, we get the influence line for that particular response parameter. The following three
examples show how to construct influence lines for a support reaction, a shear force and a
bending moment for the simply supported beam AB .
3. Show that for maximum bending moment at any section of a simply supported
girder traversed by a moving uniformly distributed load shorter than the girder
span, the section should divide the uniformly distributed load in the same ratio
as it divides the girder span. (June/July 2015)
Solution:
4. A uniformly distributed load of 5kN/m and 5m long side across a beam of 15m
long simply supported at its both ends. Determine Max bending moment and
shear force at a section 6m from left hand support. (Dec 2014/Jan2015)

SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD
1. Derive the slope deflection equation with usual notations. (June/July 2014)
First assume:-
Get Mfab & Mfba due to acting loads. These fixed and moment must be corrected to allow
for the end rotations θA,θB and the member rotation R. The effect of these rotations will be
found separately.
2. Analyse the continuous beam shown in fig by slope deflection method and draw

Note: The rotation due to sagging is taken as positive. The moments producing due to
sagging are also taken as positive.

2. Develop the solution for a differential equation of a body, when it is under free
undamped vibration. (Dec2015/Jan2016, June/July 2016)
Mass
The velocity is
Y1(t) = Awncoswnt
= Awnsin(wnt + π/2) 2
The velocity is
Y2(t) = -Awn2sinwnt
= Awn2sin(wnt + π) 3
Y2(t) + y(t) = 0
Y2(t) m + k y(t) = 0
