SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT
SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT
1. SHEAR FORCE at the cross- section of a beam may be defined as the unbalanced
vertical force to the right or left of the section.
2. BENDING MOMENT at the cross- section of a beam may be defined as the
algebraic sum of the moment of the forces, to the right or left of the section.
3. BEAM is a structural number subjected to transverse loads only.
4. BEAMS can be classified as :
a. Simply supported beam:
A simply supported beam is a type of beam that has pinned support at one end and roller support at the other end. Depending on the load applied, it undergoes shearing and bending. It is the one of the simplest structural elements in existence.
The following image illustrates a simply supported beam.
2. Cantilever beam:
A cantilever beam is fixed at one end and free at other end. It can be seen in the image below.
3. Overhanging beam:
A overhanging beam is a beam that has one or both end portions extending beyond its supports. It may have any number of supports. If viewed in a different perspective, it appears as if it is has the features of simply supported beam and cantilever beam.
4. Continuous beam:
A continuous beam has more than two supports distributed throughout its length. It can be understood well from the image below.
5. Fixed beam:
As the name suggests, fixed beam is a type of beam whose both ends are fixed.
