Week 7 - Lecture 1 - CE 2011 Structural Analysis I

This document discusses methods for evaluating deflections in statically determinate beams, including: 1) The direct integration method for determining slope and deflection given shear and moment diagrams. 2) Macaulay's method, which can handle discontinuous loads by switching off constants of integration when components are negative. 3) Worked examples of using direct integration and Macaulay's method to find slope, deflection, and maximum deflection in beams with various load configurations.

Shear and Moment Diagrams for a beam
Determine the equations for the slope and deflection of the beam shown in Figure by the direct
integration method. Also, compute the slope at each end and the deflection at the mid-span of
the beam. EI is constant.
Shear and Moment Diagrams for a beam
Determine the slope and deflection at point B of the beam shown by the direct integration
method. E = 70 GPa and I = 164 x 10^6 mm4
Shear and Moment Diagrams for a beam
Q3. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam. Find deflection at C.
Beyond direct integration method/double integration method
So far we have looked at some problems in direct integration / double integration method. This
method helps us to determine deflection in structures where moment M and flexural rigidity EI
is known.

Now look at a very simple problem.

Determine the equations for the slope and deflection of the beam shown below by the direct
integration method.

William Herrick Macaulay’s Macaulay’s Method
If the load is discontinuous or discrete, as we have seen earlier, for every extra load, there will
be two more constants of integration. When a beam have variety of loads, it is difficult to
apply direct integration theory. Therefore, Macaulay proposed a method that will switch off
some components of the equation when they are negative. For example,

method of integration.
