Group 08 QN No 05

The document describes the shear force and bending moment diagrams for cantilever and simply supported beams. For cantilever beams, the shear force is maximum at the fixed end and decreases to zero at the free end, while the bending moment starts high at the fixed support and also decreases to zero. In simply supported beams, the shear force varies with applied loads, being maximum at the supports and returning to zero at midspan, while the bending moment is zero at the supports and reaches a maximum at the midpoint or load application points.

Qn.5.

Describe shear force and bending


moment diagram for a contilever beam.
Describe shear force and bending moment
diagram for a simply Supported beam.
Contilever beam
A cantilever beam is fixed at one end and free at
the other.Loads applied to the beam can create
shear force and bending moments that need to be
analyzed.

A. Shear Force and Bending Moment


Diagrams for a contilever Beam
I. Shear Force Diagram (SFD)
At fixed point,the shear force has a
maximum value equal to the total load
applied.
As you move along the beam toward
the free end,the shear force decreases
linearly or abruptly changes at any
point where a point load is applied.
The shear force at the free end is
always zero,as there is no internal force
acting at that endpoit.
II. Bending Moment Diagram
(BMD)
The bending moment starts at a
maximum value at the fixed support and
decreases to zero at free end.
If the load is distributed evenly,the
bending moment typically follows a
parabolic shape.
For points loads,the bending moment
diagram has a triangular shape,with the
peak occurring at the point of the
applied load.

at the fixed support and ends at
the zero at the free end.
Bending moment diagram:Starts
high at the fixed support(max
moment)and ends at zero at the
free end.

B. Shear Force and Bending
Moment Diagrams for a Simply
Supported Beam

Simply Supported Beam


A simply supported beam is supported at
both ends,which allows for vertical
movements and rotation at the supports.
I. Shear Force Diagram (SFD)
The shear force is influenced by the loads applied
to the beam.
At support A,the shear force equals the upward
reaction force at the support,while at the support
B,it equals the downward reaction force.
The shear force may experience abrupt changes
at point loads and will linearly vary between
points if there is a uniformly distributed load(UDL).
The shear force at the supports is maximum but
will return to zero at the midspan if the beam is
subjected to symmetrical loading.
II. Bending Moment Diagram
(BMD)
The bending moment at the supports
(pointa A and B)is zero and reaches a
maximum at the midpoint or at the
location of applied.
The shape of the bending moment
diagram can be parabolic for uniformly
distributed loads or triangular for point
loads.
In the case of multiple loads,the bending
moments diagram will consist of segments
indicating the changes in moment due to
applied loads.

BMD for a simply supported beam

ends at zero at the supports,with
spikes depending on the loads.
Bending moment diagram:Starts
and ends at zero at the supports
and peaks (positive or negative)
at load points.
